The 12 to 1 390 in my fairlane started running like crap last year. Popping through the Carb and running rich. Chalked it up to Carb and parked it. Yesterday we started diagnosing. Started with compression test. Cylinders 5,7,8 were 235 to 240 psi. They rest were 190 to 210, low for that engine, as it was 245 to 250 new. So we hooked up air to the chambers and the low psi chambers leaked like a seive into the intake. So three hours later the engine is sitting in the run stand with the heads off. Lotta crud on the valves for a two year old engine. Only thing is the intake gasket looked a little saturated and may have been weeping. I'm going to disassemble heads clean them up and lap the valves in by hand and check the guides and look for bent valves. The heads are ported dove f-5 aluminum, stainless race valves, viton seals. Anyone seen this before? Possible causes? Anything to look for?
