and I need to confirm #8 exhaust valve is bad.
Well I got home late last night. Sunburned and chewed up by bugs but happy.
Got out to the garage and pulled the valve cover off on the number 8 side. Turned on the compressor and let it fill up. Attached the hose to the number 8 and let the air go. Air was flowing out to the exhaust. I loosened the exhaust valve rocker about 1/3rd of a turn and the air stopped flowing out the exhaust much to my surprise. (I had it too tight.) I could not find any other leaks other than where it was attached to the engine.
I then took the air line off the engine and re-did the compression test. See attached. I'm assuming the compression is high on the dry results, due to residual oil from my first test a week ago.
Now I'm back to wondering why I blew all the oil out the intake manifold. In either case I'm going to have to take it off and re-install the gaskets.
Good news I think.
