Second Try. Burning Oil - Fouling Plugs. Revisited.

[Doug Altman <doug_altman@yahoo.com>]

As suggested, I used the worksheet from Ed at "Just Brits" to document

 my compression results.  As mentioned earlier, it is a 1959 AN5L 

9C-U-H 948, and has smoked since being rebuilt by a local mechanic

 (hack?) five years ago and only has about 5000 miles on the rebuild.

  Looking at the numbers, does it appear I need to do cylinder work? 

 Head work?  Just honing and rings?  More than that?  Suggestions are 

appreciated and I plan to do the work myself this time - that way it 

will be done right!
