I am wondering if you all think that I ought to split the case on the engine that I have been tearing down. I had a bad leakdown number on the number 4 cylinder so I wanted to get it apart to see what was going on. I thought that it would be cheaper if I didn't split the case, since I don't think there is anything wrong in there. But at the same time I want to do the job correctly and dont want to skimp now to have to pay later. I am not in any rush to get it all together as the rest of the car is in as many pieces as the engine. Just wanted to get some thoughts. And I can't seem to find anything that would have been giving such bad leakdown numbers. The #4 piston, cylinder and head all look pretty good to the naked eye the exhaust valve is a little darker than 5 or 6 but looks better than 1,2,3. Thanks for your advise.
