Engine: 1.8 1974.
I tore down the engine to replace Dead gaskets and seals. Purchased new jugs and pistons reassembled the engine. Fired it up and have 90 lbs of compression on 3-4 125 on 1-2. Completed a leak down test and all is good as it is holding what compression there is... Tore the engine down again and measured the cc of the heads and they are all the same. Part number 021.101.371S on both heads. Measured the deck height of the pistons at TDC and they are all the same.... Head gasket shims are all the same. What am I missing??? Thanks Jammer! |

if it were mine and it is out and apart. i would do a light hone on the cylinders (break the glaze), check my ring gaps again, stagger the gaps at 60 degrees and reassemble the cylinders. on the heads, fill each combustion chamber with lighter fluid with spark plugs in the holes and check for leakage past the seats. the chambers should hold the fluid. if they don't, lap the valves into the seats and try again until it seals. reassemble.
