Re: Head Service

Out of curiosity, how would the leak test proved it was the rings? Doesn't it just fit in the spark plug hole, which would test the compression for both the valves and rings at the same time??

The head was just rebuilt by a professional shop(which unless they screwed up, I'm much more apt to believe I messed up...), and there certainly is some oil in there... so I'll do the rings and hone. Earlier in this thread I had some issues with one of the rings, so I should've checked better before throwing everything back together (I was in a bit of a rush to get the car out, but have time again now). Eh, that's how life goes.
