Interesting video, thank you. Some of these engines have a centrifugal de-compression mechanism on the cam shaft. Below a certain rpm it holds one of the valves open longer to make it easier to pull-start, makes it feel like you have very little compression when turning it over by hand.
Wow I can't beleave you wouldn't take 1 3/8 bolt of that bracket to make it so much easier to do head gasket unbelievable 😳
Nice work-
