George- I'm curious as to what you want with this engine. The amount of smoke out of the valve cover and exhaust is indicative of worn rings, no matter what the compression was. If you can get the smoke down to a tolerable level with valve seals, that's OK. But personally, I'd be at it a little more thoroughly. I see that you have the engine out, with the head off. How much of a ring ridge is there? You might be able to get away with cutting that back and honing the cylinders. Do you have micrometers to measure the crank for eccentricity? |
Hey Steve - I can get micrometers, but I wasn’t planning on removing the crank. Removed the pistons already, just going to hone and do new rings.
Worst case, I get a big block.
