I made that mistake once and it upset my cam timing and valve adjustments. Resetting everything right had the motor humming.
Yes, I made sure that I adjusted the valves at Top-Dead-Center using the "T" mark on the flywheel.

Is it likely that my motor has lost compression??? .....I do not have a compression tester, although I could rent one, but I'd still have to buy an adapter to fit that size plug. Would a compression test be worth my $?
