73 340 Compression Test interpretation help
Interstingly enough, the car sat for 7 months at a used musclecar lot, and only had 32 miles put on the odometer. I have put about 800 miles on itsince getting it in May. It still run's very strong, but the smoke it right embarrassing.
Incidentally, it has no PVC valve, only a breather plug on the passnger side of the engine. I have seen smoke coming out of it when the car is hot. The motor has the "Cast Aluminum Valve Covers", and are solid on the driver side, except the filler cap opening. Could this be compounding the problem?
I will try the "Tune Up" you reccommended, since I have noticed a couple of times it did not smoke under acceleration. I never associated it with the phenomenon you suggested.
Do you feel, at this point, that it is unlikely the problem is with the rings?
