Check the compression. .025 valve lash is ten times too much. Probably has a bent valve. Been there, done that.

Fred,

So I tried to set the valve lash to less. When I got to .015", I think the valve was hitting the piston as it came up. So it is something like that. or a dropped/loose seat, or junk under the valve. time to pull the head, I guess......darn
