    My engine is skipping...

    Hey everyone, I recently swapped a complete head assembly onto an engine.

    Everything works fine, but there seems to be a constant skip.. It is constant throughout the rev range.

    Compression numbers are good, has new sparkplugs, all spark plugs are firing...

    Injectors are plugged in..

    Any ideas?

    thanks!

    You could have an injector that is misbehaving. Pull the plugs and see what they look like. If one or more cylinders are being starved for fuel those plugs should evidence or running lean.
    The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

      Pulled the injector harness, and re-installed and it runs like a charm!

      Nothing like hearing a M20 purr

      thanks!
