, here's the latest! I finally got to pull my head If you remember, I had =
155 lbs of pressure in cylinders 1, 3, and 4 and only 25 lbs in cylinder n=
umber two. So with the head off, I was prepared to find a problem with I f=
lipped it over to expose the valves, no such luck. Other than number two e=
xhaust valve being a bit black, no cracks, nothing stuck and it looked fin=
e. So then I went to look into the cylinders themselves, walls smooth, fla=
t high compression pistons smooth, number three a bit rough on the top, bu=
t other than that and good.=0A=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0So then I went back to the=
head, put the spark plugs back in and filled the combustion chambers with=
paint thinner to see where it would leak out. Filled each chamber evenly =
and waited. Twelve hours later, and other than evaporation, no leaks! All =
chambers still even in their fluid retention.=C2=A0=0A=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0So=
then I rotated the crank to get all the pistons to an almost even positio=
n and put paint thinner in the cylinders at the same depth. No quick leak,=
not one cylinder faster than the others and all the fluid finally drained=
out smoothly and evenly in each cylinder.=C2=A0=0A=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0I'm a=

ge advice and help. Also as a side note, I went over the head with a magni=

would be obvious.=C2=A0=0A=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0I am also going to be taking =
off the tappet cover on the side, inspect all the lifters and see what I c=

find something wrong! Here are some photos for you, maybe you can see some=
thing I can't.=0A=0A=0AHere's the head, upside down and you can see the ex=
