| I have virtually the same car and am going through an engine rebuild right now. Do you restrict oil to the heads? I am new to the FE motor, so you probably know more about it than me, but from my research, I have heard that the oil inlet hole to the heads is bigger than the outlet, so the heads fill up with oil. The solution is to put a holley jet (I've heard .090-.060 in size...I will be using .090) under the two rockershaft bolts which feed oil to the heads. I haven't done this yet, so I can't say how it works. The reason I am telling you this is because if your heads are not restricted, this will probably lower oil pressure. Also, the other thing you may check is that since your #7 cylinder is the one with low compression, make sure the #8 and #7 wires are not running parallel to each other. The are sequential in firing order and often induce spark in each other. Good luck and enjoy. Oh, and just to let you know, before I tore my motor apart, I was idling at about 5psi when hot, so your not that bad yet. |
