    Engine running weird need help big time!

    I changed my rockers on my 3.1 to the rockers off of a 3100. it ran like crap so i changed them back, now it still runs like crap. rough idle no acceleration, sounds like its running on five cylinders but all plugs are firing. I really need help if anyone knows what the problem is or has any ideas!

    Did you put the wires in the right order?

      You could have bent a valve (That's if your wires are correct and not torn) .

          Kinda off topic, but why would wires make a difference? They shouldn't have come off anyways. Gotta go with a bent valve, or some such thing.

            I checked the compression in cylinder 2 and it had about 10 psi. I bent a valve but im hoping its from the rocker slipping off not the piston. Is it really hard to change a head? its the front head.
