A big milestone, engine and tranny are back in car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Thanks to all who have helped me get this far.
I have reconnected clutch cable before anything else as I want to make sure this whole thing with the arm is correct. I now have 3/4 -1" play when pulling pedal up. I think there is still enough slack in cable that excess pressure is not on TOB. When pedal fully depressed to floor there is about 3/8" (rough measure) remaining before arm would hit the trans case. Here is pic of cable end. Does everything sound like it is within spec? Thx |

I think you are getting really close to figuring out the problem. You could pop the valve cover off and just check the #2 cylinder. Rather than go through the whole rotation procedure to check all of the valves just do #2. Rotate the engine until #2 intake is open and loosen #2 exhaust center the push rod and then set the clearance. Then rotate the engine again until the exhaust Valve is open and do the same procedure for the intake valve. Easy to do with a remote starter switch and the coil disconnected. If you don't have one do it with the car jacked up in 5th gear by rotating the tire.
