Re: 413 Motor

[MO <micher@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If this is a truck engine, Most likely it is low compression.  Get a
piston on top dead center and with the sparkplug out, take a
screwdriver or other small rod amd run it across the top of that
piston. . If you can feel a "dish" in the piston top, it is low
compression -8.2 or less.  Some trucks used a raised water pump but
that can be changed.  The cam will probably be limited in
performaqnce , most truck engines a set up for low RPM
operation...............................MO
