Randy mentioned in an email to me that 75 psi was rather low for an =
Midget. He also mentioned that rebuild was likely necessary (rings, =
head gasket, etc. could be the culprit).
I plan to replace the head gasket within the next couple of weeks. I =
figure I can do that without tearing the entire engine out. Hopefully, =
it won't take longer than a day. Also, I have an engine rebuild planned =
already (along with a carb (tons of vacuum leaks) and front end (new =
shocks and king pin cleanup) rebuild) for this winter. I hope to drive =
it until it gets too cold, then disassemble her.
My question is: is there a problem with running the engine with a bunch =
of vacuum leaks and low compression?
