Well it turned out to be a really minor problem.  One of the rocker arm bolts
got loose, and the rocker arm was just banging around in there without opening
cylinder #1's intake port much.  The biggest problem I had was getting the valve
cover off, after gluing it down with "The Right Stuff" - not the right stuff at
all, since it still leaked around cylinder #4 where oil tends to pool.

I torqued those buggers down to what the manual said, and one of them got loose
anyway.  I think I will re-do all the bolts using a little lock-tite on the
threads for good measure.  This time I will use the valve cover gasket Fel-Pro
provided with my kit along with a little blue RTV.

No big deal.
