Remove a cylinder head and inspect cylinder walls.----Compression values are too low.------Way too much mechanical noise in my opinion.

Just had them all off walls are good .
Piston in good shape..just old .
To get compression would have to hone and new rings. Did a running spark test and cuts out a little. That's why iam thinking not all are firing at right time ..no back fire ...just rough

What iam trying to say is not a Constant spark to all cylinders I don't know if it's a switch Box problem
