Patcon Posted February 23, 2023 Share #73 Posted February 23, 2023 But it doesn't make sense that only #4 does it and not 5&6. We also went throught ignition trying to move it and couldn't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barefootdan Posted February 23, 2023 Share #74 Posted February 23, 2023 Are these heads prone to cracking? Perhaps there’s a hairline crack in the #4 chamber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Maras Posted February 23, 2023 Share #75 Posted February 23, 2023 I'd like to see the results from another compression test. I'm beginning to think it may be a bad oil ring as suggested by Zed Head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patcon Posted February 23, 2023 Share #76 Posted February 23, 2023 But oil ring shouldn't affect compression numbers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutchzcarguy Posted February 24, 2023 Share #77 Posted February 24, 2023 I haven't read the whole story but do a comp.test .. first cold then one hot and note all findings here.. that would be the day that we don't get an answer!! Together we'll get it out of that engine what is wrong!!! 8 years is rediculous.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barefootdan Posted February 24, 2023 Share #78 Posted February 24, 2023 Also while doing the compression test, I’d like to see the valve cover off and some shots of the valve train. Perhaps there is something out of wack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yarb Posted February 24, 2023 Share #79 Posted February 24, 2023 Compression test first of course. Leak down test after that if the first test isn’t conclusive. My 2 cents.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gundee Posted February 25, 2023 Share #80 Posted February 25, 2023 If that plug is indeed carbon fouled instead of oil fouled then we need to see the cap and wires. Close up of inside of cap as well as exterior of cap. An Ohm meter reading of all wires from cap inside terminal to end of plug wire. Post reading for all 6. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jalexquijano Posted February 25, 2023 Author Share #82 Posted February 25, 2023 No oil at all. Carbon fouled due to long idle during traffic jams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barefootdan Posted February 25, 2023 Share #84 Posted February 25, 2023 are those numbers dry or wet? hot or cold? throttle fully open? Seems low, but at least consistent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
