    Engine paint

    I finally had my '68 200 checked and here's the stats; 13%,17%,15%,4%,5%,10% on the leakdown, 155,160160,160,150,155 on the comp. test. He said even if all cyl were 17%, that would be good. I was hoping for an explanation for my low power and 14mpg....

    That said, now that I know the motor is "good" I'll be pulling my head soon to have the broken exhaust bolts extracted and maybe have it milled and do some porting (I'll be calling you, Kenny!). Since I'll be keeping this engine for at least several years, I want to put a good paint on it that won't fade/crack. Is POR 15 the best stuff around, or should I consider something else?

    Bellevue Auto Paints seems to have gone away - any suggestions on the eastside of places to go?

    Thanks!
