Hi all
My running rough was not getting any better, the mechanic at work said that it 
might be clogged oil control rings and gave me some stuff to add to the oil to 
clean them out. I removed the oil fill and noticed a little bit of white around 
it. upon closer inspection I found that there was definatly water in the oil. 
Probably what is causing my rough running. Did a compression test and found 
that # 2&3 where only 97lbs so I have removed the head and am going to order a 
gasket kit in the morning. I plan on having the head skimmed and thinking about 
lapping the valves is there anything else I should do while I am in here?? I 
was thinking about polishing the intake and exhaust ports. Also myne has ports 
for the air pump that the DPO has put large bolts in to blank off I was 
thinking of TIG welding them shut, any thoughts?
