my valves aren't seating right 
i have compressions of 130, 100, 100, 110.
u can hear a pop or 2 ut the exhaust every few rpm, i thought it was just the nature of the cams ect.
but i put a Co2 sniffer up its bum, reading should be about .25%, mine are 8.5%, in other words, its slightly hanging open, so i'll have to do a valve grind
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ i dont have

awww shit man thats not cool to hear 
hope you get it sorted out, think of how much better it will run! Maybe do some port matching while the head is off?
Cheers

well, when i got the engine running fully i did a comp test but only with a push on comp tester,and these are renowned for being not very accurate, and i got the EXACT same pressures 9 months ago, so with those pressures bumped upto about 140 each it should haul alot better 
it has gotten worse over the last 2 weeks thats why i bothered to find out the problem {didn't know there was a problem b4 then}
