Message	Ok guys... just got my motor redone, and after about 300 miles I got good compression on 5 cylinders. Number 4 is at 90 psi, and adding oil made no difference. So a leak down test revealed that the cylinder is leaking back through the intake valves. When the heads were done, the cams didn't go with them, so I am assuming they were just put back together without any consideration of valve height. Can the top end of the motor be pulled apart and valve height set without pulling the motor out and apart again?
