I'm guessing I can find the compression in the manual(s) I saw in PDF over in the tech manuals pages. Hopefully I can get to it tomorrow & report back...else it will have to wait until I get back from FL to visit the folks.

It smells strong even with fresh fuel and the bigger issue is the reduced MPG. The two places I do take it hunting or to the woods are 1 hour away & 4 hours away...can't stand the smell that long. Besides during the summer I want to keep the top off and not die of some rare diesel fuel...

Gave it the once over this morning (actually twice, & three times over) and I don't see any actual raw fuel leaking. It seems to be coming only from the exhaust AND the exhaust does puff quite a bit of white/gray smoke. I should probably down grade "raw fuel" to strong fuel smell because it...

Probably a day late or years for that matter, but it seems Rock Auto has them .010 over. FEL-PRO Part # 9128PT .010" thicker for use when block is refaced; Head bolts not incl.; Head bolt replacement recommended $31.99 That is for 85' and I'd ask some of the other guys around here if the...
