Am I correct in assuming the cause would be worn rings? Are there any other ways to determine what the cause could be? If it is rings, any idea what the general cost would be to have a garage do the work (It has a 324 Rocket motor) - this is a little bit beyond my expertise, I'm afraid  |
Yes, it could be worn rings, but the readings look good. I'd suspect valve seals.
