Lewis Jones. said: (quoted from post at 06:28:27 02/28/10) Hello all again. I am wondering if on A Ford 8N front mount distributor if the pistons are directly beneath the spark plugs?. Or if I pour oil down them will the oil be going to the valves and not to the pistons?. I wan't to try and increase my comression as I am having one heck of A hard time getting the Ford going. Yes all electrical, timing and posts are clean with good spark and free flowing gas from fuel to carburetor and it drains out very nicely and plentiful. But the fuel just doesn't want to up to the pistons. When I take out the new 437 plugs after cranking they are dry and I smell or taste no gasoline on them. So I am thinking the pistons rings are dry. They are not that worn as there was no large cloud of smoke last year when it was running. But it has sat A good while without cranking. So I would like to know if the pistons are directly beneath the plugs to put some oil down each piston to help lubricate them and build the compression needed to intake the fuel from carburetor.

Any help, advice, suggestions will be appriciated here. Thanks yall and God Bless.

Lewis Jones.

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and ... [Read Article]
