my new 83 TC Reply #8 – August 30, 2011, 09:44:22 PM well i got ambitious last night and took the motor and head off and found the reason for my poor compression and leakdown. But on a good note I found the head and lower intake have been ported and polished along with oversized valves.http://i751.photobucket.com/albums/xx152/mmiman02/HG.jpg Quote Selected
