I had two guys come over to look at a mga I had for sale. I had filled the
cylinders with arc and put corks in the plug holes.
One guy was in the cockpit with the other bent over the engine when I came back
from a phone call. Before I could say anything, the guy inside pulled the
starter knob.
Large stripes of atf appeared in his hair, on his pants and on his shirt.
Oops. He said, 'rings must be good.' Without missing a beat!
Best, ray

Subject: [TR] low compression on cylinder no. 6
To: "list Triumph" <triumphs@autox.team.net>
Reminds me of when my brother poured 2 bottles of automatic transmission
fluif down the carb of our 64 Malibu in hopes of cleaning the valves. The
last swigs killed the engine and it would not restart.
He pulled the spark plugs and turned the engine over just as my mom walked
over in a white blouse - Fluif everywhere!!! Poor brother never had a
chance.....
