my uncle owns his own shop and he put the motor back together. so i asked him, he says the valves r adjusted correctly, also we used the light for setting the timing as well.we did a compression check around 165 i think he said on all 4. the exhaust leak is right before the muffler in the weld. he cant look at it for a few weeks. it runs really good and has power also when u give it gas the shack in the video stops and it smoothes out? i mean besides the shack u would have no idea something is wrong with the truck

How long has it been since the job was done?
Have you had the head re-torqued ?

the head has not been retorqued, and the idle was set by listening to the motor, no tach. cars been running for about 4 weeks now. the shack gets worse if i lower the idle and it smoothes out when the gas is applied or idleis higher
