RE: 67mustang motor |

Hey Gary, i appreciate all your help so far. I discovered good and bad news. The good news is that when i was seconds away from starting to tear down the motor, i took it out one last time to see if any promising changes would result from it. I returned to check compression and it was much better, the lowest reading is 120psi and the highest is 135psi. So dropping the hammer must have helped. The bad news is as i was adjusting some noisy valves, i noticed that the valve seal on the first valve was pushed up all the way to the top when it should have been seated down at the bottom. Further inspection revealed that most all were same way. I only checked one side of motor, but i assume both sides are probably the same. I also believe that i am getting a lot of oil up top just like you mentioned, you were right Gary. The best news is that i have a new avenue to attack and don't need to tear motor apart just yet. I pushed the seals back down i felt all the way and started motor, after a while i checked the seals and they were up at top of valves again. So my new question is how do i fix this problem of valve seals (umbrella type) not staying where they should and also too much oil up top. |
