Over heated probably from lack of valve clearance. Exhaust valves can only cool themselves when they are on the seat. When valves are tight they make poor contact. A new valve and a quick lap with compound and you're back in operation. I guess it's possible that the seat has eroded away. Will know once the valve is out.

I'll find a good machine shop to

bring it in New Orleans I figure. I can check the Nissan dealer tomorrow to see about getting a valve I guess. Put her together when I get it back and then the Goon should run better.

Gave some love to the Goon and pulled the head.

Found out the 3rd cylinder issue with no compression.

 

That's what they call blow by!!  Ouch...at least it's not the seat or aluminum in the head.

Woohoo! Going to paint your Wagon in the black Momo scheme! Going to need more paint than the jars though. 🙂 Just kidding, looking forward to seeing the mini version of your Wagon!

WTF is that orange thing on the block??? Those are for masking the oil filter boss when painting the block.
