Long story short, the engine is out of the car. Loose head/cylinder studs are the suspected culprit. I'm planning on pulling the cylinders to lap them into the heads before I put it all back together. Will this necessitate re-ringing? The rings have about 8,000 miles on them.
Thanks for y'all's help! Konrad |

How much compression? What was the leakdown, and where did it go? Are the valves seating? What do the gaskets look like (if there were any)? Was there any popping or other noise before you tore it down? Did it get hot? How hot, and for how long? If the loss was from the head/cylinder interface, you'd hear it and you could see where it was going.

The gaskets, around the combustion chamber (if they are gaskets and not shims) have some carbon build-up but aren't scored or torn up. |
