Ok. Parts came and I reassembled the motor. The compression seemed to top out at 75ish on both cylinders...it’s been running for about 10 minutes and sounds pretty good. A little Smokey due to the additional oil. So far so good. Water is coming out the pee hole pretty steadily. I can hold...

Pappy, thanks for the insight, like i said once inside an engine I’m a little out of my element. I ordered a new head gasket and I will proceed with re-assembly and I’ll do a compression test and a leak down test at that point. Thanks for the tip on the double oil, I didn’t think of that, and...

The cylinder walls feel ok. My neighbor was just over and I asked him what he thought. He said same, they look ok and they are smooth to the naked finger. There is what looks like a score line, but if it is, its smooth to the touch, I ran my fingers all around both cylinder walls, and I did...

Thanks for the responses. Like I said I ordered a fuel pump rebuild kit, and for good measure I just ordered new coils. As far as the water flow, this model doesn’t have the typical “pee hole”, according to the flow diagram in the repair manual, it pushes the hot water back down the shaft...
