Hi gim,
1. Per your reply #6:
"so it creates too much compression"
2. Per your reply #9:
"tried hand crank, it feels heavy when compression builds up"
Could it be possible that:
A. After you ran the engine, the rings got seated and broken in, "comme apres faire le rodage"; and/or,
B. You may have one of those vintage European higher compression heads Mr. Vince Falter mentioned on his site, like up to 7:1 or 8:1, creating higher compression, combined with something else.
If someone wins this interesting Bingo game, rather than one of us receiving a cookie, it appears it would be most fitting for "all" of us to send cookies to Mr. gymlegule for enduring these problems. LOL
