you're be on the right track. see what you really have with a gauge then trace it from there. from the sound of it there is probably some seriouse sludge built up in that thing. if that's the case, pull the motor, build it back to specs, learn a few things along the way, and have a good running motor. sixes are fun to build.


"The Marines I have seen around the world have the cleanest bodies, the filthiest minds, the highest morale, and the lowest morals of any group of animals I have ever seen. Thank God for the United States Marine Corps!"
