"Lookin for some help and suggestions.I have a 318RH rotation starts and runs but not firing on all 8 to say the least.I have spark and new clean plugs and wires,seems that should cause the motor to run on 8.I wonder if the cam is worn and the valves arent functioning properly the timing chain is new and only have 9in hgs of vac where the other motor has 18 .I figure I have half a motor running here I put in gear and it pops the pcv hose off the pcv valve but will kind of run for about 5 secs or so seems the shaft isnt wobbly and spins smooth other motor sounds deeper and has more vac.Does any body have any ideas?"

"I hate to say this, but # 7 is one of those that get water in it from a leaking riser/ elbow. I hope there's not a hole in the piston, or broken rings.

That said, unless the firing order is major league screwed up, the rest of those cylinders HAVE to run.
