Coulda, Shoulda, Woulda comments are welcomed

Probably. Should have retorked the head to see if that would help the compression. The gasket is fiber

Think it's a shadow. It appears evenly colored

My guess it's in pretty good shape (only has 15k on it), but since i'm into it, may as well do some upgrades to improve the internals (as you mentioned). Once i get it back together, don't want to have to tear it down again in my lifetime (my car is there for that) and i don't plan to ever sell her. That said, i will have all the tools....

Yeah, that's what it looks like to me, but why the low compression on that side. Will be measuring the cylinder soon

[QUOTE="TomU, post: 479888, member: 7984"] Coulda, Shoulda, Woulda comments are welcomed :) Probably. Should have retorked the head to see if that would help the compression.
