What I have is Julian Miller's old AR'ed Supercoupe.
I finally have time to pull the motor and am currently working on it, but in the meantime am curious as to what all of you think is wrong with it.
According to Julian (and hopefully I remember right.), there was severe blowby, instant fouling of the plugs on the motor after a pretty new rebuild. Well, I have started to tear it apart.
-Currently, there was a fairly large amount of oil at the bottom of the intercooler. It literally poured out. I know some is normal but this definitely wasn't normal.
-There is a good 1/4in of oil sitting within the intake manifold.
-Oil was drained and looked good. Not milky or discolored, nor did it have a strong fuel smell.
-Coolant was drained and looked brand new.
-Lots of nasty deposits on the waterpump, upper and lower radiator hoses.
My dad thinks its lifted heads, and possibly piston rings are jacked up. Whats your thoughts.
