Roncallo,
I don't suspect a bad valve, the car ran very smoothly before I started this repair. I decided to change the valve stem seals because I had blue smoke at start up every so often. The timing chain, tensioner, and guide rails were done because of the mileage on the car, 107k.
I started the car this morning, it will run and idle on it's own. However, it wants to search for an idle. Between 800 and 1000 rpm. And it wants to miss, but not the steady miss it had before. This miss is like an "out of time" miss, the kind you get when the timing is too far advanced.
After replacing the timing chain I had 2 degrees of stretch, timing marks on cam gears was right on, and the rotor on the distributor was right under the number 1 plug wire. So I'm back to looking for vacuum leaks....
