Admittedly, the cylinder head redo was enough work, and I dont plan on another compression test until the GP's are changed out. All it can be is compression or IP. Everything else has been freshened, guides, seals, ALL new intake valves , IP's, lift pump, all lines ( no air no leaks), DV seals ( and springs and washers), rear fuel line and tank filter. It runs quite well at 80C. For now, a steady diet of B100 is the answer. Although even with B100, it still smokes a bit on startup, and, I guess misses, with a " whomp" every so often.

BTW, I could see the milling marks in the piston tops when I pulled her apart. Bio does a great job of cleaning!


I'm not pulling the block for a cyl rehone at this time, just going to drive the hell out of it. I'll do the rehone if and when the 240K mile tranny craps out.
