You're going to have to do a compression and leakdown test to be sure it's not a ring problem.



I performed a compression test this evening. All cylinders tested between 128 and 139, with the majority around 133-134.

I cannot see any ring problems with these numbers.
Remember, the numbers are lower, due to the larger cam with the lower compression pistons, thus lowering the cylinder pressure.

I also rerouted the brake vacuum to the manifold and pcv to the carb. The pcv does not have a baffle below it.

What do y'all think?
