[V8] not such great news today

[Dave Saad]

This is what I was afraid would happen - you never know what you are getting with a used motor.  It certainly can't hurt to try additives. There is a fuel system flush too that either takes a special machine (the best way) or you inject the stuff into the intake.  I found a little ATF in the motor oil before a change is magic on noisy lifters.

good luck

> Well today i called the shop and my guy was not 100 satisfied with the way this engine was running. Me being a novice didnt really notice. All i noticed was a little smoke. 1 of my cylinders is getting good fuel good spark and very bad compression. Here we go again. He thinks its only 1 valve on 1 cylinder. He's going to try some additive in  the oil as well as the gasoline and just plain drive it and hope it starts seating properly. Im a little dissapointed. Worst cas i think we'd have to pull 1 head and flip her over and fix 1 f...king valve. I dont think that is too cheap. Does anyone have any suggestions for me. Ive got parts up the ying yang from the other two engines. Maybe i can do it myself.
