Guys, I know this is a camaro forum but you have good input. I have a 77 trans am which had not run since 2006. The shaker scoop leaked and filled the engine with enough water to push the oil up in the cylinders. I installed new cap and rotor and wires and rebuilt carb. The engine has good compression but sometimes misses on # 6 cylinder. I removed the valve cover to insure the cam had not eaten a lobe and checked for weak or broken valve springs. Some say a lifter might have rust in it or bleeding down and some say a valve might be sticking. There is no clicking or popping through the carb or exaust. It does come and go while driving. Any thoughts?
