My father  once dropped three on a trip across the state all in the same 
motor.    Said he had to push the car up some hills running on 3 
cylinders.  Very tired engine 
that had been severely overheated before he got it.

> I wonder what the record is for the number of valve seats dropped by 1 individual?  My rampside started running a little slugish so I started the trouble shooting.  #3 cylinder has 0 compression.  I will do a leak down on her tomorrow and find out which way the air leaves the engine.  Right now she is sitting with the valves closed and if she holds pressure I will back off the rockers a bit.  But somehow I doubt it. Fourth one in as many years.
