Really need help major problem

Mustang_289 · 04-20-2004, 04:31 PM

My son put on a set of AFR165 heads, Typhoon Intake and B303 CAM. Before the work car was running fine, compression was about 130-135 on each cylinder.

Here's the problem - after the H/I/C was installed, car is running like crap, ran compression check and all cylinders were in the 150-160 except #2 which was reading a big fat 0 compression. Cranked the motor with the plug still out, and saw major oil in the cylinder. Also pulled the dipstick and smelled gas in the oil.

Do you guys think it's rings? With the car running fine before the work and pretty good compression - how could the rings go bad during the H/I/C upgrade as the car hasn't been on the street since the work began.

Would either the intake or exhause valve not closing all the way - due to incorrect adjustment cause the oil in the cylinder and gas smell in the oil?

Any help will really be appreciated on this one.
