Well, I bought a car a few months ago, guy told me it had a bad valve seal.
In the #8 cylinder
Car was smokey on really hard acceleration (above 3k)
Plug was getting buildup on the edge.
Two days ago I ripped it down to swap the Intake pulled the valve covers, compressed the springs, pulled them off, and put on a new valve seal and threw it bak together. Valve guides were fine
Today I threw new plugs in, and it runs damn good!! But I pulled the #8 plug and its getting buildup still, on hard acceleration it doesn't smoke as much, but still does.
A few weeks ago I ran a compression test, and it was reading 135-160 all the way around (160 in #8 cylinder)
I am trying to narrow it down to what it could be. So far I've eliminated, bad rings, valve seals, head gasket.
What else could it be?
Could it possibly be buildup that is still in the cylinder that is still burning out from te bad valve seal?
Please chime in, I would appreciate it.
