The block was given a complete run through at a local machine shop.The shop honed the block for chrome moly rings,putting the proper cross hatch pattern on the cylinders. I installed the rings on the pistons myself, the dot on all rings were on the top letting you know that they were installed correctly, knowone could get that wrong. I know not all rings have seated because after driving the car around town, i pull the front four plugs and the threads are completly dry. The threads on the rear four sparkplugs however are wet with oil, some very wet. I say oil and not gas because after returning home and checking the oil dipstick, the reading has dropped 1/4 to 1/2 of full, not to mention that it smokes out the exhaust which really pisses me off. I see much older and really messed up vehicles that don't show one puff. I checked cylinder compression and all are at 130 lbs except for one which is 125 lbs. Please help. |
