After two years of ownership it is time to dig in and give Olga a refresh. A couple weeks ago she started to run poorly and missing at idle. After checking all the basics timing, fuel and spark to no avail I did a compression check and found two of the cylinders are dead. My plan is to take the head off and get it rebuilt and hopefully that is all she needs to get back on the road. While the head is off I'd like to do some other small upgrades and basic maintenance. In the past year I've installed a new fuel tank and a DUI distributor. My main goal with the 40 is to make it reliable and turn it into the family hiking and camping rig for weekend adventures. I started the teardown last night by going ahead and taking the intake manifold and headers off.
