I'm not too familiar with the Cleveland. Does it have an exhaust crossover similar to those on most Ford V8's? I think Randy pointed out that 4 and 7 share an intake runner. I believe that is the clue to the solution of your (first) problem of no fire in those two holes even though they had fuel, spark and compression. I think that there was a pinhole between the exhaust crossover and the 4-7 runner. That would allow just enough exhaust to enter the intake runner to prevent combustion in those two cylinders. The hole would not be visible on the top or bottom of the manifold. An intake swap would have fixed that, but that is water under the bridge. However, the failure to identify the first problem may have contributed to the burnt valves problem. If I'm right, I'm sorry my input came too late.

Well, the intake did get swapped. It wasn't the problem. Heads came off. No burnt valves.

The only problem anywhere was two collapsed valve springs.

Not only did he lie about what was done and or checked he also stole from me.

I have given him 90 days to return the stuff he took.

Now its time for law enforcement to get involved.

He has made ZERO effort to return stuff taken.

BOSS, I will return your plug wires and I don't appreciate being called a liar. I apologize for the long wait. I have not forgotten. If you really need them back that badly please just say so and I can ship them if need be. Me getting anywhere more than 10 miles is hard.

I'd say do one of two things. Send payment for them, or return them all cleaned up no greasy oil on them. Plus some bucks for the time of use!

Cheaper then gas.

Remember we loan stuff in good faith as it will be returned asap.
When not returned in a timely matter we get pissed ez ok. that's fair RIGHT!

Plus, at worse, It could also save on dental work, as we all have different temperaments going on.

We do our best to help out each other, why the next time that help is needed may be us Okay:

If he had them, then must have a need or use for them Right:
Just do the right thing as you would like done to you..

Oh!!! that must have been the one that got broken, so been using it as a hummer to fix the nails at a friends fence around the pig pen.

Oh did you want it back? Geez, I'll have to go look for it in the pig pen one of these days when it don't smell so bad...

Yes I was to go back and help him out. I still want to and still will. If he still wants me to that is.

Fair is fair and I will hold up my end.

Cool. Maybe I can show up also with a few beverages. You guys shake hands and make amends. Then all three of us slap each other on the shoulder and tilt a few.
