...on compression, that is.
Did a compression test this morning and the results were less than encouraging. Here is what we have (dry/wet):
1: 89/109
2: 125
3: 92/110
4: 90/100
5: 107
6: 120
7: 111
8: 93
Cylinders 2 and 6 seem to be the only ones holding up. The lifters are still making quite a racket, especially in the vicinity of #8.
On the bright side, if there is such a thing at this point, is that the plugs are burning nice and clean and it still starts right up.
But with half my cylinders below 95, and 3 of 4 on one bank, it looks like a transplant is in my future.

Rut-roh. What do you have in that thing again, a 345 or a 304?
'tis a 304, but a 345 would fit just as nicely. Odd thing is that it still drives with plenty of power... or is it that I don't know what I'm missing? Nah, drove Heavy D today too with it's monster 345, so have a pretty good basis for comparison.
