That does make sense Curtis; hope it is not a cracked cylinder though. I guess I will find out! It burns oil some; not seeing white smoke yet however. It is time to pull it I guess. Should be an easy deal- no P/S, A/C, w/manual trans, no emissions crap, it is awesome. Take hood off, Just a few bolts here & there, a few wires, it is out. I guess I better get busy. It is incredible how inexpensive it is to freshen up a 327 engine!! Biggest expense will be the heads. Got a fellow drag racer dude at work that is going to help me with things I am not sure about. I have never completely gone through an entire engine before on my own. I will probably be bugging you guys at 12AM on here a few nights. LOL! scooter
