Trust me, if you'd been here, you would have noticed the instant difference in the way the engine sounded just before it started. It was lack of oil pressure, lack of cranking speed and lack of compression. The oil in the cylinders is already gone. I hooked up the fuel system. The car starts first time, every time. Like it was brand-new! I cleaned the spark plugs with a wire brush on a dremel every time I fouled them. They are clean. However, the car is running disgustingly rich and needs to be adjusted. By the way, the exhaust sounds great. I'm so glad I replaced all that stuff. --- In DMCForum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, "content22207" <brobertson@xxxx> wrote: > Usually air in oil galleries is quickly ejected out top of heads.
