[Amc-list] 66 Ambo 232 compression problem

[d stohler <das24rules@xxxxxxxxx>]

there have been a couple of us having valve train
issues with cars that sat for a long time the last
couple weeks. myself, i had valves sticking in the
closed position bending pushrods. you might be having
where they are sticking in a partially open position.
i had 1 valve that was doing that. you say you got it
running for a little bit? i bet you had happen what
happend to us. it ran for a little bit, built heat up
and then formed that tar like "substance" on the
valvestem. check to make sure your valves are closing
ALL of the way. im going to just take a wild guess,
but are the ones that have no comrpession the ones in
the middle closest to the carb? (getting the most fuel
and that gunk of old dried up left over junk from fuel
in the tank like what happend with us?)

just a thought from someone who JUST got them issues
fixed.
