My motor(it's a 230 ), as you may, or may not remember is having compression issues. The low compression is fairly equal across the board. The leak down test was very poor.

The motor does not smoke or knock and sounds great. It does however loose oil pressure after about 20 min of driving, from 35-45 psi to low 20's. I have never pushed it farther. It also blow's oil out of the oil filler vent tube.

In short I am going to do a in frame rebuild. Just change rings and hone out the cylinders.

I know this is only bandaide, but its just to get me throught the summer.

Any comments and or advice would be great.

Thanks Bob
