Digging into the 360 engine that came with my project.
Tested the driver's side bank of cylinders, compression was around 30-40 each cylinder which is about 100 too low to run.
I'll test the passenger side tomorrow.
Want to take bets on what the culprit is. You have to get your guesses in before I tear into it and do anymore research.
What I know.
1971 360 engine. Sitting for an undetermined amount of time outside. Long enough that ALL the rubber hoses are brittle and breaking under the slightest movement. Spark plug wires were brittle and falling apart too.
What do we think the cause is for low compression across ALL driver's side cylinders.
