Yeah... the #1 cyl was pumping oil so we brought the car home took off the head and #1 piston looked brand new [which it was] head and piston was clean, Not firing, no soot. pulled the pan, took out the piston everything looked like new. Checked the ring gap and OK. Put on new rings and put engine together.
The most time consuming was the intake manifold with 16 injector wires threaded up between the ports.
The cause, I think it was a fouled plug. I wasn't there to check and change but plug was fouled when we took it out at home
But for some reason #1 spark plug hole was hard to turn all the way in and could have been to far out of chamber to light. Chasing the treads at AMS today.
We also replaced our #2 ground and hot wires with new #2. 25 ft rolls of black and red with not much left over. Troy crimped, soldered and shrink wrapped the new connectors.
started wed afternoon and finished up last night. Just a couple connections this morning and back
to AMS.
We new something was wrong because we wern't thrashing.
