Yes I re torqued everything. I'm following the break in instructions that was sent with the motor and so at this point can't take it above 2k. I'll check the gasket that came with the carb but I think it was the two hole one. Man not sure now but I can see where that would make a diff. Here's the vid of it running before I tried to take the idle down to 700. So here it never went below 1k rpm.

Yeah didn't make sense to me either, which is why I tried the single hole gasket which gave me idle quality issues. If you had a single hole gasket originally and try going back to that and see if it improves idle quality.Wait but the with the two hole gasket, there is nothing for it to seal against on the intake. So how would that even work? My original one is the single hole gasket I believe.
Yes I think they all doYour intake manifold has the single open hole?
Watched your video, I would pull off that valve cover and take a look......Something is not happy. Sounds like a box of rocks.
Broken or loose rocker arm. That noise is not normal. I would also check your mechanical fuel pump if equipped.
The shake in your engine is in-time with the awful noise.
Broken or loose rocker arm.

Pretty consistent.
Wow!Why anyone would suggest adjusting the valve/rockers regardless of the method is insane!
Yes, and it is difficult for any of us to determine what may be wrong from simply watching a video.That is what I think also. Did you listen to the video?
John, with these very consistent cylinder pressures, it would be highly unlikely that you have a broken rocker arm.
Wow!

Rick said:John, with these very consistent cylinder pressures, it would be highly unlikely that you have a broken rocker arm.
That is incorrect.
You are measuring the pressure with the valves closed.
If a loose rocker or other issue not allowing the vlave to fully open would not affect those numbers....
Waiting for the go ahead from the place I got it from. Pretty sure it's a valve issue though.
Not yet. I'm waiting for the go ahead from the place I purchased it from.
