here are my numbers for the compression test,

1-130
2-145
3-140
4-125

5-150
6-155
7-150
8-147

heres the reasons i ran the test.


this video is about 4 mins after start up.
351 smoking, valve guides or piston rings

351w smoking, after 7 mins

operating temp 15mins

is it more than a coincidence that the lower numbers are on the same side? if it were rings broken down due to running rich wouldnt both sides be showing similar numbers?

interesting thing about #2 it had the worst looking plug and it was one with descent compression on that side, where as the #1 cylinder had a good looking plug but bad compression numbers.

where do i go from here?:shrug:
 
Make a sig with what you got done....I hear a obvious cam.
How many miles are on the motor?
I know the first vid is black smoke, which is fuel....
Are you carbed or efi?
Did it start happening out of nowhere or has been doing for a long time?
If it's EFI do you have any codes?
