i solved the problem, apparently the valve shims got mixed up not allowing for valve clearance so i wasnt getting good compression. that was one of the causes. I also had a spark plug with a hairline crack on the insulator so i change the plugs and now the car is working great. the engine is silent. Even though it took me some 8 hours yesterday griding and polishing those valve shims to get the correct intake an exhaust clearance i needed it was well worth it.
