[QUOTE="333arod333, post: 11783628, member: 128183"] Well I finally did a leak down test and there is definite leakage past the rings. When I put a stethoscope in the dipstick tube it sounds like wind in the crankcase. It also smokes unde heavy throttle blue smoke as well as on start up. Everyone is telling me that it's pretty much gonna b a rebuild soon and not to give the car any heavy throttle. I don't hav the money to just get it rebuilt and I like to do my own work. Thing is I don't hav all the engine lifts and stands etc nor the 100% know how. Is there anyone in the south Florida area that takes these engines apart all the time and would b willing to help me out with working on a rebuild? I hav maybe a grand but I'm guessing a rebuild at any shop would b like 4 so that's not even on my horizon. Wiling to spend the grand though and get parts. I appreciate the help guys. [/QUOTE]
