Pulled the injectors back out this afternoon and attempted to check the compression. I am getting 280psi on the cylinder furthest forward and 250psi on the middle and rear cylinders. According to my service manual, 426 is considered the low where it becomes hard to start so that may explain part of my struggles. Could I be doing something incorrect when checking compression that would give a lower result or is it pretty black and white and I need to look into an overhaul/rebuild?
I checked the rods and linkages the other day and didn't see any issues. I attempted to look at the governor mechanism but apparently I am missing a section in my manual and it wasn't clear to me what to check so I left it alone for now. Now that the injectors are out again, I will test the spray patterns when I get a chance.
