Rich/Chris,
Thank you very much for the information. Surprisingly, after 46 years of
5K
RPM shifts, my engine seems to be still running strong. However, after
recent compression and vacuum tests, indications of warn rings, valves, and
guides were obvious. I was not looking forward to a total rebuild and
originally considered doing a valve job and piston rings with engine in the
car. But then, the old "while I have it apart this far, why don't I ...."
hit and that was that.
I appreciate your direction and will definitely be following your
suggestions.
All the best,
Ray (64BJ8P1)
