valves stuck open??
k i diddnt know untill today that my first 3 cyllinders have almost no compression. the next 2 have little and the 3rd has plenty... im NOT spitting grey smoke everywhere.. and the motor only has 90k on it. which leads me to beleive the piston rings are fine.. the car sat for probly 20 years b4 i got it. my question is does that sound like the case? if so is there a way to fix this or at least doctor it to buy me some time??? i intend to buy a new head and have it machined and then im going to put it on within the week
it's a ford 200 cid l6
what kind of money am i looking at?
and whats the best way to go about getting a head? should i order one already trumped up, or buy one at the local junk yard (if i can find one) and have it shaved.
how much do i need it shaved? will i have to adjust the lifters?
im searching the forums as well
