  What were you sandind for compression ? Sanding the manifold surfaces will not increase your compresion It may give you a vacuum leak if it is done unevenly.

Reply to Tech501's Post: The only thing that I removed was the upper and lower intake and I unpluged distributorless system,crank sensor air pressure regulator valve,air filter, gas line to injetors rack,and I also unpluged one that look like a sensor that is located on the upper face of the timming belt cover. I didn` removed the timming belt cover or anything that relates too timming I don`t think!
