low compression

Rob, the cylinder head tihng may be a must for some. It's in-expensive enuff to allow under the table. But a whole engine rebuild? Naaaaaaaa.

Right.....I was kinda thinkin more of an overhaul. Rings, bearings, oil pump. How bout timing chain? Any restrictions there? Or cam timing? I HAVE an original 77 318 that would probably run.....but freshening it up would be nice.
