I'll redo today to be sure (ran out of time yesterday, so injectors are still out).
btw, timing chain is new (boy was it way off - made huge improvement on running) and valves are freshly adjusted.
If I do the head, would problems with rings, cylinder walls, pistons be evident by looking down into the holes?

Hmm. I would think nothing would be visible through either hole, possibly a mini camera could be placed in the gp hole to inspect the piston top and the valves.
how far off was the timing chain? enough to damage a valve? I can't belive the car is running smooth with 100psi on one cylinder... unless the valves are totally gone and no pressure is building in that cyl at all. then it would be running like a 4 cyl... hmm. when you did the valves, did you notice if the cam lobe was bad on that cyl? a badly worn lobe would not allow much air into the cyl. just a thought. check it out.
