Motor was rebulit about 8000 miles ago ran fine till now
keeps fouling #3 plug and runs poorly above idle studders
All the other plugs are nice and clean
Compresson in all cylnders 145PSI
New plugs,wires, coil tested good No smoke no water
Motor has a slight ticking noise
Changed injectors from 37's to 009's and changed the chip to match
Samething
No codes
Did I loose a cam? bad spring? lifter?
 
swap #3 injector into another hole and see if the problem starts on that other cyl.
My guess is that the injector is sticking and fouling out that plug cause its bleeding off more than it should??

That or you have other issues....
When its fouled, is it soaking wet and white, or black as coal?

Sorry#1 plug is fouled

Sorry guys its #1 plug that fouls
I changed all the injectors and chip
This might be part of it, 1000-2000 miles ago a push pin that holds the rocker arm on broke, the rocker walked off the valve.
I can't remember which one it was. I checked the push rods and changed all the rockers put in new push pins and carrier shaft and it ran OK till now
Maybe it damaged somthing I couldn't see
I'm going to take the valve cover off and have a look
Plug looks black and not wet but I'll double check again
