Gloyale Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Do a leakdown w/ compressed air. If you can hear air wooshing out a valve, either inatke or exhaust, you can pull heads and replace valve. If the air leaks into the crankcase, you've got ring issues.....probably better to look for a new shortblock. Toss that case aside for a rebuild later.

GeneralDisorder Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 You can do a leakdown or you can put a few squirts of oil in the cylinder and retest. If it's rings the reading will shoot way up. If it's valves it may go up a little but not to 185 where it should be. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
