A couple of questions. First is it worth redoing the valve adjustment before pulling it apart? I can do the valve adjustment and be at top dead center by putting something in the cylinder and checking the marks on page 11 of this document. I can't see the parks on page 10 of the document without pulling it apart.

Does the fact that the compression is the same dry and with ATF tell us something?


Is there anything else I can try before I pull it apart?

I would redo the valve adjustment. Just make sure your at top dead center. It sounds to me like you might be 180 off.
