For those of you who remember the high rpm misfire I was having, I finally discovered the culprit. I checked my timing which was right on the money, so I proceeded to take shit apart. After cracking off the valve cover and looking close at the valve train, I found that the plunger of one of the intake lifters on cylinder 4 had worn out and was missing along with the rocker arm. I found the arm in the head and I'm guessing the rest of the lifter remains in the oil pan. 5 minutes later I have a new lifter in and am back on the road with a car that'll rev to redline again! I wanted to give a shout out to those that helped me out, especially Josh and Mike, who got me on the right path with checking timing and valvetrain. Also, sorry for all of the annoying questions I asked. Sometimes there are never any answers until you just sit down and tear shit apart and figure it out. Peace.
