Compression numbers are 150, 150, 150 after a few hundred miles on a new rebuild. I should have used new pistons...but anyway...here are my plugs. Help? I've rebuilt engines before, but never a car engine. It burns oil...just about as bad as before the rebuild. Cylinder walls were honed.

Pics 1 and 2 are of plug 1.
Pics 3 and 4 are of plug 2.
etc.

No worries about the compressions. They will come up. Using oil, or leaking? How much?

Nice job getting it running again.

Using, about a quart/1000 miles. ( I think, i'm not 100% on this. I'm too mad at myself for reusing the old pistons to check for real)

It runs a LOTTTT better now, and I'm able to run 12* advance with the RIGHT cam timing.

There's a picture somewhere, and I ligned them up close to that pic.

I MAY have fucked that up though, i'm not gonna lie. What irks me is it DIDN'T use much oil at all in the first 200 miles...even with the break in revving to hell and back.

:thumb A quart per 1000 is very acceptable for a quick and dirty overhaul. Not only new oversize pistons, deck the block, you know the story. Full meal deal.

I couldn't afford to have it down any longer. I plan on getting the works done to another engine while this one lasts me. :)

Sounds like the plan. I Q&D overhauled/repaired my engine many times before I did the all out ultimate overhaul. This one will run for a long time. :coffee
