Hi all
My running rough was not getting any better, the mechanic at work said that it
might be clogged oil control rings and gave me some stuff to add to the oil to
clean them out. I removed the oil fill and noticed a little bit of white around
it. upon closer inspection I found that there was definatly water in the oil.
Probably what is causing my rough running. Did a compression test and found
that # 2&3 where only 97lbs so I have removed the head and am going to order a
gasket kit in the morning. I plan on having the head skimmed and thinking about
lapping the valves is there anything else I should do while I am in here?? I
was thinking about polishing the intake and exhaust ports. Also myne has ports
for the air pump that the DPO has put large bolts in to blank off I was
thinking of TIG welding them shut, any thoughts?
