Mis-Shifted at the track :(

Okay, So i was at the track today....I finished at the top of 3rd....14.75 at 94 mph...and went to upshift into fourth...and went to second :twisted: :evil: So, now i have a bad misfire....dead cylinder #2....compression is still 175 across the board....but i checked cap , rotor, dizzy, ign coil, spark plug, wires, injector, and everything is fine....Do you think this is a bent pushrod? I know a floated valve would have caused a compression loss

Well, since there are no pushrods in these motors you can cancel that off your list of problems. Compression could still be ok if you bent a rod. You also might have bent a valve, if it's stuck shut your compression will be fine.

Pull the valve cover and have a look at the valve train.

The cams sit right on the rocker arms in these motors, no pushrods.
