I lost my image server so I'm having to edit every single post to get the images back in. Yay.
A little history on why it's gay. https://forum.ih8mud.com/showthread.php?t=167998
But the color is not the focus in this thread.
I'm starting out with an 86 2F.
Little is known about the motor. But it was just currently driven from CA to SC about 3 weeks ago. From what we can tell the motor has over 250k on it possibly more. Ran great. No idea on knowing if it is a rebuild.
Compression numbers were
#1 135
#2 135
#3 135
#4 105
#5 135
#6 135
I wouldn't have touched the top end except for the #4 cylinder had me worried.
My plans are to totally desmog it and add TBI. Top end is going out tomorrow to the machine shop to be redone. I have rebuilt a couple top ends on f motors but never dug into a 2f and never the bottom end. But my goal is to have a nice smooth strong 2f.
So now here is where the tech starts.
Cylinders
#1
#2
#3
#4 the problem cylinder
#5
#6
Rear three cylinders
Front 3
Front three chambers
Rear 3 chambers
