63 Dodge Dart, now let me see;)
Hi, I went to do a leak down test on my newest 318 (block casting 4006730-318-12) (1976-1979 LA) from the '76 Valiant, #8 cylinder at TDC leaks badly from the intake. I've tried tapping it to seat it, but didn't do anything. Every cylinder there is air leakage from the oil pan/cam. It's faint, but the engine hasn't been ran for some time I'd say. The intake, exhaust manifolds are off to it's a unique diagnosis. I thought maybe this engine was going to be ok, but I guess not.
This is the head and following pics from the '73 Challenger, 318 (2536030 318-8)casting) (1967-75 LA) , well exhaust ports. it's a nasty engine.
Looks like one of these engines will be sent to the machine shop, just would like a little advice, but no comments on my poor choices ~ lol
