Pulled the head and pan. Pistons are in good shape as well as the head. #2 plug looked wet, so I pulled the piston out. Bearings and rings were good. Might as well pull the rest to see if some rings decided to give up. Did find metallic shiny stuff in the pan. All connecting rods are good as well as pushrods. No mixing of fluids either.
Pushed her just a little to hard.

and fall is my favorite time to go driving those little country back roads till I get lost.
John, this weekend is out, possibly the weekend after. I’ll be in touch.
Jim.
