[QUOTE="Adam Smith, post: 999079, member: 59024"] Thanks for the replies. Yes, I spent several miserable hours one night putting in some Autolite spark plugs, between 70 and 80K mi. I haven't really noticed it running badly, and with my oil changing schedule, I honestly haven't been checking my oil; lesson learned. But I haven't noticed any smoke either; I'll check that out. Will also check out the Maintenance section for Projects. I asked my mechanic about a compression test and he said it could reveal many different leak spots which could mask the valve stems leaking. I've swapped out engines on a '73 Toyo p/u and did it myself when I was younger, but this one looks a bit more complicated...sounds like a good option to look at though if it starts to go bad.
