Well, it runs too rough to go around, and I'm not revving with the
transmission in park, even if it may not have any problem with that.

Is 40 psi too high at idle? seems close to specs, but... I checked the
spark plugs and they are covered with carbon deposit and were
a bit wet from fuel (no it's not oil cause it evaporated, while oil
would have stayed). Smoke is grey/black not blue/gray, which
seem to confirm too much fuel. The spark plug on the leaky
injector is clean as a whistle. Weird isn't it? I'm going to recheck
compression and check the valve adjustment. Where can I
grip to turn the engine over to have intake valve 1 fully open?
