Well it turns out I shattered my fibula so haven't been able to do a whole bunch of heavy lifting or crawling under cars but I managed to get outside today and get the rebuild started.

Checked out the compression in each cylinder and it was pretty good in cylinder 1,2,4,5, and 6. anywhere from 120-150psi. Oh cylinder #3... 10psi of compression at max. Took the engine apart and the piston out... Not only did the piston ring come out in a few pieces but a nice big chunk of piston was missing on one side. Not to mention that the rod wrist pin was about 5x harder to move back and forth compared to the other good cylinders.

Here are pics of the day
















AND THE KICKER!!

69 Buick Special Deluxe. Intercooled Turbo Chevy 250 @ 15psi on a stock long block. It's kinda fast.
