Title: One piston firing & bad oil
Post by: 126redbomb on July 28, 2022, 10:59:26 PM

Hey guys! I'm currently picking the BIS back up as a project to get her running for shows ready for next year, but it seems like only one piston is firing, and the engine is rocking really bad at the idle, which seems like it is so slow that it is about to cut out. Any help? Also, I think I have a water leak into my oil, what could be causing this? Thanks in advance!  :D

Sounds like a head gasket to me.
First thing to try would be a compression check
