Well, just to update, I got the ol tracker all fixed and running like a champ!
When I pulled the head, I found 2 burnt valves. The exhaust valve on #1 was pretty bad which is where my bad compression was being caused on that cylinder. So, I rebuilt the head. All new valves, seals, gaskets, etc...
Got it all put back together, timing set, and she cranked right up! Runs better and more power than it ever had before so I am very happy!!!
Thanks for all the help!
However, now that I have it running good, I want to work on the brakes. I replaced all the brake pads last year, but ever since I got it, I have to pump the pedal 3-4 times before it gains pressure. Once it gains pressure, it applies braking to all for brakes smoothly. So it seems to be a pressure issue... I also bled the lines like 5 times to no avail (no air in lines). Would it be the master cylinder or the brake booster?
