"Please post compression readings per cylinder wide open throttle, 6 compression strokes.
Sounds like slipped timing chain.
Never "throw parts" at an engine to try and solve a problem.
Ask me."
"The 440 also has a timing mark attached to the front timing chain cover. That's where the magnetic pick up sensor is mounted. You may have to get under the front of the rig to see it. There's a notch in the harmonic balancer/ pulley."
