Could do a compression test, if one of the valves isn't functioning correctly that would show in the test.

Your right. Thanks for the idea. I am going to do that first before remove valve cover. That would reveal something wrong. All I know is timing belt is not issue, but could still have engine failure, majorly. I had 160 all four cylinders before when assembled. Hypothetically if I see any one of the chambers lower, it would have to be allot lower if a valve is not opening and closing, right? I have had compression check done a few times, but this is new engine.

Thank You to everyone. I did compression test and 160 all four cylinders. C16 adversly effects o2 sensor, so I am going to go through allot unless I tune to 92 octane. I am stupid and tuned the car on dyno to only C16 this year. Also I am going to go through spark plugs on a regular basis using c16. Warning to anyone using c16. Safe anti knock fuel and car will not pull timing, more power, but check plugs and o2 every short while. I know probably everyone knows this allready, I learned the hard way.
