[AT] She's smokin'--8N

yep to all three. Try a leakdown test. If the compression pressure
drops slowly, it's probably rings/sleeves. If it needs rings/sleeves,
it probably needs valve guides too. After that, you'll probably
have to do the rod and main bearings due to the great HP increase
you'll get from those other new parts. :o)

>My 8N starts and runs good (a little rough) and has even 100 psi 
compression.......but she smokes a lot.  With that compression could just 
new rings solve most of the problem or would new sleeves be necessary 
too??    Or could worn valve guides cause all that smoke?   Looking for 
ideas.   John W.
