357K and opening engine for first time
guys - I think I need to get into the top end of my stock 305 TPI. Here is what happend
-Car sat for 3 or 4 days
-Started car, engine turned over but felt like one of the cylinders was fluid locked the way it was cranking.
-Car finally started, filled the garage with smoke, and ejected a decent amount of oily residue out the tailpipe onto the garage floor.
SO, I pop the hood, notice standing oil on the intake manifold. I suspect a bad intake manifold gasket letting oil into a cylinder - please let me know if my line of thinking is correct.
