Infrared gun told me #4 was pumping @ambient temperature. I had drilled out a jets on a BBD which mad it pig rich on the dyno. I may have wiped the rings on my low mileage 198. It has been sitting since 2009. Driving over the road left me no time to play with it. When I came off the road it was...

A 2 plane manifold of any brand is a 180* intake. Technically speaking any single plane is a 360. Offy just grabbed the term to sell intakes.

To my knowledge Offy never built a dual plane. The 360* is the designation for a single plane. IIRC all of their V8 intakes were marked 360*. I have one sitting on the top of my 360 in my work van. It has the 318 sized ports as the manifold I wanted was 340/360 specific. It ran fine with a Comp...

What oil filter has a stand pipe in it for the slant? I forget. #1 filter not to get is Fram.

240 Ford inline 6 had the valve seals laying in the bottom of the head. (claimed 9.2:1 factory compression) Tons of carbon in the chambers. 100K on it. Smoked bad, had tons of compression due to the clumps of carbon that made the chambers smaller. Tons of crap on the pistons too. Burned a lot...

Would the block deck need to be level so to test the entire circumference?

Mopars have soft valve guides. Mic the stems, then mic the guides. I would really have the guides replaced without all the measuring.

I agree light sludge. Diesel oil is high in detergents. I run that in my cars. Rotella semi-synthetic. Had the intake off my '97 Lesabre a couple of weeks ago. I could see the valve stems. Clean like new. 230K+ on it. Really clean every where else.

I'm wondering how much slop is in the primary throttle shaft. It will create a lean condition as well.

Check the jet wells too. I apply JBWeld with a tooth pick on the scraped surfaces.

The stuff that looks like rust is saw dust.

What model number is it?

Planning on running a super6 BBD on it? I have a rebuildable core. Would need the throttle shaft bushed.

Will need a 727 slip joint.
