I recently discovered this forum and I could have saved a lot of time through the years with what I have found available here. I always seem to go a "bridge to far" so I will lay out what I have and what I plan for next.
1948 8n smokes a bit and misses and is low on power. I'ts been that way for a while but I use it a few hours a year and have gotten by. Good spark. Compression on #1 is 0. Tablespoon full of oil into cylinder. Still 0 compression. Mini-cam through plug hole shows piston top okay.
This is where the leap starts. Ask old hokie if sleeve kit I purchased years ago for a 9n will work on a 8. Order parts before I know if the sleeves are steel or cast...........STOP!
Cylinder #2 60lbs.
Instead I plan to remove manifold and check on valve movement even if I don't know what to look for. Any redirection for a missed step will be greatly appreciated
