Did an initial oil change and put some oil in the cylinders...slight change but no cookie. Put enough Lucas/Marvel combination in the two cylinders to see it puddle. After a couple of hours it was still visible, so at least that's a good sign that the rings are good (correct me if I'm wrong...)

SO...if this doesn't change anything, I guess it's on to a head rebuild. I am going to get hold of a couple of import shops here and see who does their work. I've found rebuilt heads for it online from $350-650.

Are there any specialty tools that are absolutely necessary to perform this act of love? Can it be done in one day for tear down and one day for reassembly?

I've restored the dash/interior and part of the suspension of a Rolls-Royce Silver Spur, so I do have patience with complicated design.
