So for quite a while my 57 TR3 hasnbt run quite right. It overheated and
had low oil pressure when I drove it from my old house to my new one; blew the
headgasket. Well, I replaced the headgasked about a year back and it drives,
but I have a lot of fumes coming our the valve cover and it sounds like there
is a knock. Today I got around to compression testing it and here are the
results:
1. (front) 70
2. 150
3. 160
4. 160
So I guess the next step is to drop the oil pan and take out that piston?
thanks,
Jeremiah
