Using paragraph breaks to order what you are writing makes it easy for readers to pick out the relevant information. If necessary you can always buy a much better Evo engine from S&S, but I there's not going to be anything that majorly wrong with your current one.

Good luck.

No, large blocks of text without breaks are really difficult for me to follow.

Paragraph breaks are part of effective writing for a good reason.

Yes, and so is correct spelling, the use of verbs, proper use of adjectives, commas and overall sentence mechanics.

If you'd like, I can certainly point out the plethora of mistakes you made in your post?

Thanks for using a paragraph break.

It made your fairly pointless post much easier to read.

As you are a grammar pedant, perhaps you could confirm whether am correct or not about the use of them?

FWIW I have a hard time with large blocks of text as well.

You are correct.

But I'm not so sure that someone who clearly has a hard time writing a coherent sentence should be the one to chastise another for not using a paragraph break.

Just saying.

Because, you see, I have a hard time reading a sentence absent the use of said grammatical nomenclature I mentioned earlier about your post.

You're welcome. =-)

The huge paragraph is a pain in the eyes to read.

The guy politely pointed that out to the OP.

He wasn`t being critical about spelling or grammar, just asking the OP to make his posts more readable.

You are just looking for an argument. Let it go.

I may be getting close to the problem. I removed the pushrods for the rear cylinder and screwed the hose from my compressor and guage into the spark plug hole of rear cylinder. All the air is escaping through the exhaust, right out the muffler. I would think with the push rods removed that both valves would close, but the exhaust valve remains partially open. I'm guessing I have a stuck exhaust valve. Am I on the right track here?
