I am not able to access that link but if you don't see or feel that additional movement then the compression release is bad, quite common with this series engine.

The lower rocker arm is really loose when closed and intake is moving. When I'm after compression stroke both aren't too bad and seem adjusted (see video)
I've seen where some people have found TDC on compression stroke and moved 1/4" in and others who have set the feeler guages to when say intake is all the way in and they set exhaust clearance. If I did it that way it is way off now

Any videos of this "bump"? I'm trying to fond one on youtube to see what it is I'm missing

Ok I think I saw the bump on the lower valve, don't see it on mine. I adjusted the valves by fully closing one and adjusting other method and it didn't change.
Here's a video of a noise I'm hearing inside when I believe I'm supposed to see the bump

So I decided to drain the oil to see if anything came out...I put my telescoping magnet pen inside and cam out with these pieces that look like the compression pieces on cam and when you look inside the tube this piece was too big to come out
Anyone replaced a cam in one of these? (No oil filter)

Changing the cam is no different without the oil filter than with one. Just without the oil filter you may not have to deal with the oil pump and driver even though they may use the same camshaft. Or some engines were set up with the pump but have a recirculating cap instead of the normal oil filter.
