Take the head to a machinist and get it fixed right.Ok finally got around to adjusting the valves (none were very far out) and doing a compression check, and my fears were true.
Here are my compression numbers:
1. 125
2. 60
3. 0
4. 140
5. 150
6. 130
I poured a teaspoon of oil in #2 and #3 and the numbers didn’t change so that indicates problem with valves or a damaged piston is what I read. So I’m thinking the next step is to take the head off and take it to a machine shop and see what we have. Not sure which way we are going to go yet. Not wanting to $pend big bucks on rebuilding a 2F. There is a 2F in town on marketplace for $600 but he doesn’t have any compression numbers so probably another can of worms…
Been tossing around the Isuzu diesel idea but I only have one lead on a bell housing, and the engine will also need work to get it running properly.
Or my ‘72 40 project has a good running 305 in it. So thought about stealing it and putting it in the pig. I wanted a Toyota engine in it anyway.
Need to make a decision to get this pig on the trail!
