back with more problems......surprise. got a built head- professionally ported/benched, os ferrea valvetrain, crower 272. i had put about 50 miles on and all sorts of problems. mainly a cylinder was completely dead ("0" on the gauge). brought head into machine shop and he said it was the valves. stems were too short, having issues with the locks. i almost dropped the valve, u could spin it with your finger while it was in the head.
so i had manley valves put in. put about another 50 miles on it and issues again. car is smoking and sputtering, wont go over 40mph and struggles to get there. compression test- another dead "0" cylinder......and im very low on coolant (bhg?).
i thought the only way to have "0" compression was a valve or no rings. hell, ive grenaded pistons rings before and the cylinder was still making 40psi. and this is a built bottom end. now car has been sitting for 2 months waiting its fate. anybody esle have issues like this? IJ? lol
