Its a 1957 model, Z134 motor. I posted about it awhile back and went through all of those troubleshooting tips and got no where. I have now had a chance to adjust the valves properly. No change. I also compression tested it.
CYL 1 - 85 PSI
CYL 2 - 95 PSI
CYL 3 - 85 PSI
CYL 4 - 90 PSI
Wet test resulted in a 5 psi increase at most. These numbers all seem a bit low but wanted to ask. The inside of the valve cover is nasty. It's got thick greasy deposits in it that won't dissolve without scrubbing.
I was hoping it just needed a valve job, but I am guessing this motor is cooked and just needs a full tear down.
It fires up without any trouble at all, has a slight frequent but random misfire, and once warmed up smokes the thickest blue smoke you have ever seen. It's so thick it's not really usable.
Thoughts?
