The only one that was not consistent was #1 cylinder. The other ones with low compression yielded high leakage. I spoke with Wayne Schicantek yesterday and he agreed with me that the high leakages are not good. He figured that a new motor should have less than 10% across the board.
This is just the start of my troubles. I pulled the motor apart and some of the shot peen that was left in the motor from the original build made it's way to the mains and the rods and the cam bearings. As it stands, the motor has to be honed, new rings installed, the crank turned, and new cam, rod and main bearings installed. The fun never ends.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
