Sending the oil out for testing is a great idea. Not sure why I didn't think about that. Especially since I send my truck's oil out once a year. Maybe I'll get lucky and only need to do a little...

I have a feeling the exhaust valves on 7-8 will be bad. Hopefully they can just be re-ground. Leak down wasn't terrible so it might not be as bad as I think.

Thanks for the tip. I'll call them on Monday. I think I just need to replace the bad one as the others all tested good. I don't mind paying for OEM but I live on the west coast and don't see anyone...

I'm going through my injectors and cleaning them. The number 8 injector is really bad. This explains why I was down on power at the end of the season last year. I'd rather replace it or all of...

I wish it was. They look the same but Mercury made theirs with inverted threads on the inside. I'm trying to come up with an aftermarket filter that can use the stock fuel line fittings.
