Well the new head gasket stopped the bubbling coolant bottle. However i made the mistake of testing the rings. Now i know that my rings are somewhat subpar. 140,140,160,140 . on the compression test. When i squirt a teaspoon of marvel mystery oil in to each clyn. i get 150,150,170,150.( i used the m+m oil because more of it will burn up than 30 weight) The 160/170 clyn. i believe is the result of a valve problem that interferes with a full discharge of the exhaust stroke. Is it practical to remove the engine without the tranny? Or is that just silly? Also what does pinning the crank thrust washers mean? Thanks too all.
