Well...I didn't get very far with that post...yet..
What it means is that in doing a leak down test the right, passenger side, cylinder won't hold pressure hardly at all. It bleeds off really quickly,
The left cylinder, driver side, held about 40 psi after five minutes. down from 100 psi. So not very good.
Upon disassembly. The exhaust valve guides are badly worn, The right cylinder, outside exhaust valve wobbles a whole lot. This is where I ended up. Have to get the seven second video on YouTube to be able to put it on the forum.
The valves have all lost the full circle valve to valve seat sealing ring. So all the valve guides are worn. It seems they are not replaceable.
So ended up buying a new bare cylinder head. All new valves and other parts I have to look at my invoice to list.
The cylinder still has a good deal of the factory honing cross hatch pattern so just a fast clean up honing and new piston rings.
The cams look like new. The "buckets" I'll explain a lot more with pics. were usable.
The cam chain tensioner, on first fire in the morning sounded like a hydraulic lifter that bled down. So moved to the new style mechanical. Which is said to be much better.
That was the bulk of what was done.
Thus far I have about 100 feet on the motor. Pulling away from Terry Gilomen's shop and into my Mobile Garage (enclosed trailer). The motor sounded awesome. But if you can imagine, I'm being dragged off to Mexico. Some place about 50 miles South of Cancun. El Dorado Seaside Suites? Eight gold apple? Have to wear shirt with collar, slacks and casual shoes to dinner? Four of BOSS' children and spouses will be there. And all I did was fork over a credit card...so final assembly and getting some miles has to wait DANG IT!!!
