I would take a look at 2 and 8. What does it say in a CCT. Buzz test sound good? Have you watched oil shoot out the injectors?

I dare say those are either tired sticks or maybe new O-rings and copper washers can help. How many miles on the injectors?

3 and 8 fail a cct. I thought that might be the cps though. Did buzz test in November and they all sounded good. Changed injector o-rings in January and did not pay attention to oil spouts when I was in there. Might be worth a couple hours time to investigate, you think?

I had two stiks that failed a CCT and had high perdels. I replaced them and now everything runs better.

So when the valve covers were off for the compression test I watched the oil spouts and they all looked the same. The one thing I did find was that the exhaust manifold on cylinder 2 was about 30* cooler than all the others. It also took a lot longer to get up to a steady temp than the others. I let it idle about 25 min.

Ah... very good detective work my friend. #2 just jumped to the prime suspect. Between the Perdels and the cooler temperature, I think you've got your idle disruptor.
