I'm not sure how/why it started and ran good with four out of 8 cylinders not sealing.

I have narrowed down my problem some. I cranked up 26 degrees on the distributor, and started it. Did the same thing as before. I pulled the valve cover, rolled it over by hand until both valves on #4 were closed, and put 40 pounds of air in it. I was rewarded by a hissing sound coming from the lifter valley. I pulled the rocker shaft off to eliminate any possibility of my own stupidity, and checked all four cylinders on the right bank. The hissing sound was more faint with each cylinder, moving toward the front, but still there. I have closely examined the valve springs, retainers, and valve locks. I don;t see anything out of whack. When I got these heads they had umbrella seals on them, I pulled them apart and installed positive seals. The seats and valve angles looked good, and everything went back together just fine. So the way I see it, I either have bad valves, a bad head gasket, a bad head, or the block deck surface. I will pull a set of compression readings before pulling the intake and head/heads. With only about 40 minutes of run time on the rings, what should I be looking for, as far as compression readings?

I pulled all the plugs last night and they are all the same color. It looks just a tad on the rich side. I have the day off tomorrow and will be pressure checking the offending cylinders. If I don't turn up anything there, I will r+r the intake. I can trade carbs with my truck, as I know the one on the truck works. Beyond that I am stumped. I can't imagine the ignition wen't bad sitting in the garage.

I need a crank pulley for the later style dampener, 2 belt sheaves, with no spacing in between the sheaves. Lemme know what ya got.

So I guess my question is; has anybody run into this or is the plug I removed the wrong thread?

I have a 428 crank that needs to go to another forum member. I'm located in southeast Iowa. I can meet up any evening after this week after 5pm.
