I believe I've found the problem, but first a correction: the problem cyl, #2, is not the one that had the loose adjuster, that was #1.
#2 intake has a broken main spring. This I'm sure happened when I had a heated discussion with a Nissan GT-R regarding hp/weight ratio's of our respective vehicles.
My rpm was below 5500 when I capitulated to his arguement !
Now I'm wondering if I should replace all springs, and if there's a better type I should switch to. ?
