Subject: 87 Westy running poorly

      So here is what I found out.  My fuel pump
pressure is to spec
both
with & without the vacuum hose connected.  My timing
was almost
perfect.
About half the width of the notch off the centerline
crack on the
engine.
The cap, rotor & wires seem fine.  Less then 7000
miles on them.  Plugs
are
newer as I replaced them a few months ago.  I have
also replaced the
blue
temp sensor & idle control unit.  None of this has
helped the flatness
when
I accelerate.  Anymore suggestions?  I am going to
check the O2 sensor
& run
the Bentley FI checks.
