    350 Spark Plug issues

    Well It looks like it is valve guides, the leak down test didn't show up any issues, which was good. I'lll be taking the heads to a machine shop come Monday and get the expert opinion from them.

    350 Spark Plug issues

    I have done a wet compression test on the motor today, all cylinders are around 5psi higher than the dry copression test. I'm thinking head issues, valves, guides, seals etc. Surely all cylinders wouldnt have bad rings would they........
