Dave, thanks for the great idea of doing the air leak test...I do have a compressor.

Great story about your experience with the B20! Thanks for sharing.

Also Interesting what you said about the higher the compression in the cylinders, the quicker the cam lobes wear out...240 psi is quite a lot!! Factory specs for the B18B show compression to be between 170 - 200. For a 45 year old never-opened engine, having it still run within specs is a wonder even though just from two cylinders. Sure hope whatever problem I find is limited to the head.

Will keep you guys updated on what I find out.

Thanks,

-DS
