Head removal help

The only thing a leak down will tell you now that you've done compression, is "some idea" of where the problem is. That is you can HEAR air leaking out the exhaust or carburetor, it's a bad valve, etc etc.

With that low reading, there is no question. It's time to get out the wrenches and pull the head.


I would spend a marathon at Google. There surely is info you can download on working with these. I already posted the "stuff" I found above, it took me about 30 seconds on Google.

Believe it or not, of all the junk I've worked on, and it's been a few, I've never been into an AMC V8. "Back when" we were tearing around 4x4, the "Jeepers" really had very little problems with those engines.
