    Valve seals for camel hump heads?

    Chuck,what you may want to do is roll the piston down in the bore a bit then feed as much of an old plug wire with 1 end cut off as you can into the cylinder. Then rotate the engine to compress the plug wire and hold the valves. This way you aren't committed to fixing it while you are...

    Spark plug

    I'd check for an intake leak. Top side spray with carb cleaner around all the intake ports,listen for an idle change. Bottom side, pull the dipstick, put a vaccum gauge on the dipstick tube. Pull and plug the pcv line, duct tape over valve cover breather and pcv openings. You shouldn't be...

    What do these wires do?

    The relays test for 12v on #87 in the socket. If you have 12v jump #87 to #30 on the socket side. That will bypass the relay. You should use a fused jumper to do this,but most people do not. If the headlights work then you need to check the relays apply power to #85 ground #86 resistance across...
