The existing valve clearance was checked and all of them apart from just one adjuster were too wide but evenly matched so that’s part of the reason why the compression data didn’t vary a lot. After this, backed off all of the adjuster before removing the TB. I don’t think it’s leaking but after ...
Tried to show the amount of blowby mist trapped inside the intake manifold VVIS chamber but not easy to do so using my camera. Probably not enough to cause white smoke at very high rpm but at some point, open the VVIS and remove all blowby oil. Best when doing the INJ cleaning and balancing.

Didn't see noticeable difference at Cyl #3, 4, 5 that consistently showed about 10psi lower figure from other cyl for the compression check. During the re-assembly process and ...
