Message	I sold the engine before I found out what happened to it but I suspect it might've been the valve stem seals or a bent valve in that cylinder bank. Definitely compression test it before investing too much time/effort...it sure would've saved me a lot of time and frustration. A leak-down test will confirm if it's an intake valve, exhaust valve, or piston rings depending which stroke cycle the leakage is on. ________________Sig Separator________________________ Parting out my entire 1990 twin turbo!
