[Healeys] 4 Cylinder Woes, cont'd.

[Steven Kingsbury]

Just so everyone knows, I do NOT plan on driving my 100 to Conclave. I am going to Conclave because I don't want to miss the opportunity and besides, Healey folks don't care if you drive your Healey or not, they just care that you show up and party with them. When I return I will deal with my car.
   And dealing with the car will include a LEAK test as I can see by the remarks I've received there is more value than I thought by doing so. Thanks for steering me in the right direction. I will keep folks updated as I make progress,
S

If there are engine problems that you are trying to diagnose you need to get as much info as you can before pulling apart. ALWAYS do a compression test and LEAK test prior to pulling the cylinder head.
 
If not and you assume the the problem is valves, So you pull the head and do a valve job. Then re install the head now you have a burning oil issue due to the bad rings.

Personally, I would still like to know if the rings Vs. the valves are a part of the problem before pulling the head.

No need to, the head has to come of anyway.

A leak down test could help determine the source of the low compression.

Most likely cause a burned exaust valve on cylinder 2.  150-155psi on the other cylinders is neigh perfect. Head of job. Have fune.
