Ahhh, yes

The 2295 will not be 0.030” dome, unless someone milled the dome down. The part number should be on the piston. The 2295 has a 2.030” compression height. If it’s a 2295 milled down to 0.030”, the CR will be less than 10:1, and maybe close to 9:1 depending on head volume, deck height and gasket...

And that was kinda my question. Exactly where is the line for being factory stuff, and is it a rule thing, or self imposed?

IMO, you can't get there from here. What piston is it? Did you actually measure everything to determine the compression ratio?

This. And there is a good chance that the cam gear was already been replaced.

My Eagle H-beam are 880 gr.

What pistons are you using, and what is their weight?

And then what will you do with that information? Sounds like validation. If you were not looking for validation you would put the cam in and go, not posting to see if anyone has used it.

Yep. And then one day there’ll be none.

It would be odd for oil leaking into one intake runner on each side of the motor (#3, and #4 cylinders). Usually adjacent pairs leak. Sometimes 2 cylinders, sometimes 4. As stated earlier, a leaking head gasket will not present oil as shown in this case. Other plausible explanation have been...

Hughes has some nice products, including intake gasket options. Hope they are around for awhile longer.

Sorry to hear this John

I was given for free a 1958 Chraftsman RAS about 25 years ago. Truly a beautiful piece of equipment. I did nothing to it. Used it a bunch, then gave it away 3 years ago, still needing nothing. If you want it, go for it. If the plan is to work on it to flip it, your time would probably be...

Bickering aside, definitely agree open exhaust on a decent root’s blower motor is as cool as it gets.

Read the OP

That’s the difference. Not really applicable to the specific discussion

But it has headers, correct?

I’ll admit that I can be a bit harsh from time to time in my postings, but you guys are way out-front on this one. Although I agree.

I think a lean cylinder can cause this condition. The plug gets black because of mis-fire due to the lean condition. But it does seem like other things are going on too. What cylinder? 5/7? Maybe something gone wrong in the intake tract causing the lean condition?
