First. There is no way a sane person is doing a hot compression test on a Fuselage Imperial. By the time you get the plugs out your engine would have lost 2/3rds of its running heat, then by the time you have done the left side you would be close to room temp. Also blistered hands and arms along the way.
I started with a room temp engine, all plugs removed, throttle open and a battery charger connected to battery. I find out half way that the battery charger is not charging or keeping up. I had to go back and do a few over with new battery charger hooked up and after a while of charging.
I did dry and wet. 5000 miles for plug install, last few drives were in urban traffic, an hour at a time at least.
Looks like the plugs are getting a bit wet with oil and fuel additive. (the outboard oil is all that has been added.) I would say too much outboard oil, and seals leaking. Also the gold on threads is copper anti seize, I thought these plugs might be installed for a while. The plugs also are a bit cool, could go hotter. Timing looks good. Let me know what you see.
Tux needs heads. I have a set of 452 heads at friends machine shop, after he gets the heads cleaned and disassembled I will bring home and do some port matching and clean up. I will do same with intake and exhaust.
While the top end is apart a new chain and gears will join in with the fun. What are your thoughts on Cam change? Ya or Na with thoughts.
