1972 Dodge Colt
Don't have a compression tester, I guess I should buy one.
I have a leak down tester.
You put 50 psi in the chamber and read the second gage which tells you what it is holding.
I used to use 100 psi on the 440, but this engine spins over 50 so I just double the leak #.
It's supposed to be used on a warm engine, so my leak numbers are higher.
Today after I put the head back on, I had around 8 percent leak on number 1.
With 2 different heads.
Tomorrow new cap and wires.
Get my best AFB out and start getting that cleaned and freshened
Done with the 4777.
No stuck guides, cam lift is on the money.
This short block has run 13.50's in my old Barracuda.
I have never used the head before.
