Re: Cylinder Valve Job :)

Well........?

How is it running?

Any more smoke?

Miles per gallon?

Compression readings now?

Are you a happy camper?

Running well. Compression is 202, 204, 202. Great! Mpg was 40 this time, but that had idling involved as well.

No more smoke! Thank god.

I am very happy! Thank you Dr. B. For your step by step, it really helped me out!

Re: Cylinder Valve Job :)

Glad it worked out for you.

Just curious, how did the oil look when you changed it the first time?

Re: Cylinder Valve Job :)

First time it was dark. Second time a little lighter, This oil still looks clean now and has about 900 miles on this change. I will keep you posted.
