Long story short, the engine is out of the car. Loose head/cylinder studs are the suspected culprit. I'm planning on pulling the cylinders to lap them into the heads before I put it all back together. Will this necessitate re-ringing? The rings have about 8,000 miles on them.
Thanks for y'all's help! Konrad |
