Ill check the oil next time Im around and keep a eye on it to see if it changes any.. whats the easiest way to do a compression test on each cylinder?
He does know he needs to mill those heads right?

yea he does,or atleast should since I mentioned it when I talked to him about geting 243's for mine, but thats something he doesnt have to do himself so it doesnt bother him. he's a bit on the lazy side which is why I say he'll probably try that knowing him. thanks for the link, Ill mention to him about trying a compression test before geting heads
