Agreed

Entire valve train likely in need of an overhaul. Not sure how much cylinder wear there is- how loose pistons are in bore. I'll see how much ridge there is at disam this winter..and try and address #6 until another day. Not sure how I will be able to dress seat if needed with engine left in car...
Doesn't use oil or smoke but plugs are sooty...looks like excess fuel even after rejetting.
