Stop in for a cup of coffee

I think my 360s hurt! I was checking compression and cylinder #7 shows a max of 70, #5 reads 120. And as of recent its been idling funny. It pops and backfires then dies. I squirted some oil to see if it would change but it didn't. My battery also ran low so its charging.

Wow that’s not looking good

Valves both closed,and air into cylinder.at least you will know which way the compression is going. Tailpipe,carb or crankcase.
I would hope for intake or exhaust valve leaking over broken rings.
I broke the porcelain out of a spark plug, and welded an air fitting to it. Low pressure air is all you need.

I checked it out with my camera and the top of the cylinder looks clean, the wall still shows cross hatch marks. The underside of the head was just black.

Thats what I plan to do next.

Or maybe a bent push rod? Bad lifter?

 

[Unconventional]

I like that one better

I wonders if the black one is super charged like the 1st one?

Hey guys. Stripe looks good Mitch, One on my 69 was painted on, and clear coated over. Could not feel the edges....Crazy......

Maybe, either way worst case scenario whether it be head work or rings its going to the back burner again. Ill just continue with the Buick.

 

[Unconventional]

Nope.

I tink the dirty guy or gal added those engine compartment photos after my first look

I may have done that, but since numbers, I wanted to keep it real......

That’ll suck and be a big downgrade

Speaking of which. Cedar Ridge just came out with a single malt. Triple barrel aged. It's supposed to be real good. I will have to get a bottle and try it. (and save some for my friends) LOL Whiskey Review: Cedar Ridge The QuintEssential American Single Malt - The Whiskey Wash

I used to be a bourbon sipper until I developed a taste for good scotch. Glenlivet, Monkey Shoulder, Dewars are all affordable and tasty.

View attachment 1715634222 Ok, I got my rear trim panel back from my painter, and he brought me some wax, grease, silicone remover so I prepped the trunk area for the tail stripes...Hope all goes well, wish me luck.....

How did he paint it?

Tin cup is good for the money, too. I spy Basil Haydens on the middle shelf. Not familiar with the red label. What separates that bottle with the regular Basil Haydens (tan label?)

You've got to try Wild Turkey Rare Breed. It's a powerful (58.4%?) yet comfortable sipping bourbon. The taste, so long as it's undiluted in any way, is phenomenal.

Look into a valve or valve seal... If the cylinder is low and a couple squirts of oil don't increase the reading, then your cylinder and rings are ok, look at the valves or valve seals...

A leak down test will verify which cylinder and which valve...

Or pull the suspect head, leave spark plugs in, with head upside down - fill each combustion chamber of the head with water and see which one leaks...

Well, about to make the phone call, see what my future looks like.

Take a gander in the seat next to you if you want to see what your future looks like....
