Hey Dave,
The leak down test, if you mean oiling the offending cylinder, reveals no
increase in compression therefore it is "Off with her Head." I called in
reinforcements and Triumph Bob is at it as I write. I bet it is off by the time
I get
home at 4:15. Her head will be at the machine shop in the AM for sure unless
inspection reveals additional problems.
Thanks to all for the tips and support,
Darrell
