so that's a negative....
Aight, fantastic compression on every cylender.
205 to 210psi!
Wait, no, one of them seems to be at 60psi , and blasting hot oil out of the intake tract. Huh.
Head rebiuld time.
Rockville Ring and Bearing, $10 per valve to reface the valve and the seat, ~$12 for a new intake valve.
Ahh, cheep chevy parts.
Pushrod engines are so mind-numbingly simple to work on.
Why do I work on rotaries again? :P
Oh yeh, thats why, this IRON BLOCK, IRON HEAD engine weighs A BILLION METRIC TONS, and redlines at a blistering 5500RPM!

Single camshaft on a V engine... Not one for each bank, but one for all cylinders... Fewer moving parts. Gotta love it.
I think he should take the chain off and use an electric motor to drive the camshaft. No wasted engine power to compress valve springs and such, plus fewer frictional losses.
Or better yet, extend the camshaft out to the front of the vehicle and use a propeller to drive it.

Im most of the way moved in, hopefully finishing this weekend. If I would have thought to offer free beer everything would probably be moved already...

My Mustang was a chain.
