I rebuilt carbs and was able to balance each side cylinders to each other. But 1,3 Right side to 2,4 Left side could not balance. Checked w/guages and had 8 inch vac on 2 right cyls to 19 vac on 2 left cyls.
BUT!!! When checked compression today, I got around 40-60 psi on left side and 120 psi on right. OPPOSITE of my vacuum problem indications. I did find oil in my coolant reservior a few months back but has subsided to not be any more seen. My head gasket and head have I replaced 3 times on left side in past (head once, gasket 3 times). While Im having second thoughts of my memory being accurate, I did repeat the vacuum test twice and distinctly remember it being low on right side at 8 in of vacuum out of a 30 scale. Book did say that normal for the 1100 would be 19-22.
Conclusion thus far: Vacuum low on right side, Compression lower on left. Can this be or am I in wrong on memory. Got great pain killers and even in repeat analyses I am scratching me head......
Even so, I suspect I have a head gasket out. Can the timing belts have degraded bad enough that my Compression checks would not be up to full snuff, OR valve guide replacement be necessary as well????????????
HELP!
