Hello all, well I decided to cut to the chase and check for leaks. I made a shade tree leak down tester (thank you Jerry). I set my compressor to 30lbs and hit the cylinder. I found that on cylinder #1 at TCD, air was coming out of the exhaust. I didn't hear air anywhere else, or see any bubbles in radiator. I checked cylinder #2 since it was a little lower then the rest too and did not hear anything at the exhaust, carb, breather or dip stick tube...and I didnt see any bubbles in the coolant.
I guess I have a burnt exhaust valve in cylinder #1. Is there any other reason air would be escaping out of the exhaust?
Either way, I suppose i'll be pulling the head this weekend and visiting the machine shop on Monday. Good thing the tax return is coming soon.
