Re: May Day !! Down a cylinder
Hey Sparkie, check to make sure that you didn't suck an intake gasket into the port!

Re: May Day !! Down a cylinder
What does the intake port look like on that cylinder. It could be a small crack or sand pit in the head casting allowing oil to be pulled in to that cylinder. You could do a vacuum check on that port if your machine shop has that type of equipment. You could have a problem with the oil ring in that hole too. It will leak check good even if the oil ring is not sealed. The expander could be lapped over.

Re: May Day !! Down a cylinder
Phil, is the plug gas fouled (stinks of gas) or oil fouled (you may smell some gas residue but no stronger smell than the other 7 cylinders)? My guess is an overlapped oil ring expander ( especially if it uses those damned Hastings Rings type of expander). Ron.

Re: May Day !! Down a cylinder
I have total seal rings. i have msd ignition I have changed every piece of it. I have done everything most has named twice. the piston is clean as a pin guys. there is no oil ,if a ring was bad enough to foul my plugs wouldnt you think there would be oil on top of piston.
i really appreciate all the advise but I am throwing in the towel for a couple days. I have some concrete to get poured now the rain is over. hopefully be back in action by norwalk! |

Re: May Day !! Down a cylinder
Don't give up!!!! Put that thing back together and run it on 7 cylinders. I've seen you do more drastic things than that!!!
