TO: ALL THE GUYS WHO ARE HELPING ME THRU THIS MASS OF LEARNING.

THANK YOU: INGENEIUS, MUSTANGII460, RWHITE65, and PHILLYFANFROMBIRTH.

O.K.GUYS HERE IT IS: I DON'T KNOW WHAT A 'WET COMPRESSION TEST IS'
BUT I PERFORMED A REGULAR C/TEST.
HERE'S THE READINGS I GOT ~ WHICH AIN'T GOOD.

NO. 1 CYLINDER ~ 150 NO. 2 CYLINDER ~ 130 NO. 3 CYLINDER ~ 120
NO. 4 " ~ 140 NO. 5 " ~ 118 NO. 6 " ~ 125
NO. 7 CYLINDER ~ 105 NO. 8 CYLINDER ~ 105

AS YOU GUYS CAN SEE IT AIN'T GOOD. THIS IS WHAT LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT A REBUILDING IS IN STORE FOR MY CAR.

SO I WILL TAKE EVERYTHING APART AND JUST BRING THE BARE BLOCK TO THE AUTO MECHANIC MACHINE SHOP ~ GOD WILLING I FIND AN HONEST ONE.
I'LL LET HIM BORE OUT WHATEVER IS NECESSARY.
THEN GO FOR THE FOLLOWING:
NEW PISTONS
" RINGS
NEW 260 CAM
" ROLLER LIFTERS
NEW EXHAUST MANIFOLD

AND WHATEVER ELSE YOU GUYS ARE KIND ENOUGH TO TELL ME.

HEY GUYS ' THANKS AGAIN ' FOR PUTTING UP WITH THIS 65YR. OL' YOUNG MAN.

GOD BLESS YOU GUYS
