I took the rockers out of No:1 and the cyl beside it, no:1 still hissed up the intake port, but the next cyl suddenly had 150 psi ...... I put the intake rocker back in that cylinder and it immediately dropped back to zero compression and huffing out the inlet port ...... that means, even with the hydraulic lifter full collapsed, the rocker is still holding the valve open



The knees said enough was enough, so tomorrow is another day .... maybe I can wedge no:1 inlet open far enough to clean the crap off the back of the valve .... without it ending up in the cyl ...... the next one along, No:3 cyl is going to be another matter .... I still need to check if the exhaust valve is being held open by the rocker .....
Ripping the whole lot out and fitting this Lexus V6 and L110 hybrid transmission is looking better every time I look at the thing ......
