Thanks for all the prompt replies! Sounds like I may have a potential issue, but the car seems to run like a bandit. However, that's just running around on the street with no track time yet.
Note that the rod and crank info isn't verified, but is what I believe I was told. I will recheck the Lemans Rods - NASCAR crank.
I did the test when the engine was cold (and I mean cold as the temps have been down in the 30s overnight). I had a remote starter, all plugs out, throttle plates blocked open. Cranked each about 4 times.
I'll try the
oil test, and Tony that would be great if I could come by to do the leak down test. BTW - are you going to go to the AC Club gathering tomorrow at Hooters? 1:00 Holcomb Bridge location. I'm planning on going and we could figure out a time to do the test and you could drive it then. If not, I'm off work all this week so can do it another time as well.
This may tie into some concerns I originally had about
oil usage, and Tony Radford's experience with a carb that was too rich keeping his rings from seating. Engine/car have just over 4000 miles on it and the carb was set too rich when I got it. Had it adjusted about 800 miles ago. Plugs show some black carbon on them and they're relatively new.
Thanks!
Scott
