Stop and think about what you have done so far----try a new lifter, possibly a different balancer ,also use a different dial indicator see what happens---- I know that this next idea will not give you a correct number but pick a different cylinder to try degreeing see if the same error occurs, if it does not ,then something is wrong with the valve train on number 1 cylinder otherwise you might have a bad dial indicator or degree wheel or pointer, timing chain set up or whatever---at least you might eliminate/ isolate some of the possible variables---- Comp 387
