Logged in this weekend at just over 3000 on the 1600 SP from GEX in my
'66 standard/camper. Oil was very clean. Motor never ran hot, even
at freeway speeds on trips to Jacksonville and Tampa. But it has been
running rough. #4 plug was fouled again, second time since motor was
installed. #3 & #4 exhaust valves tightened up excessively. Eeveyone
else was fine. Compression on all except #3 was 137. #3 came in at
105. I guess the next thing is a leak down test. I suspect the head
due to sloppy guide installation that I saw before installation. I'll
call GEX today and see what they have to say. More to come. After
new plug in #4 and a carb adjust it's running smoothly again but I'm
crossing my fingers.
