Put compressed air to cylinder thru plug 240-260 1980

ICQ>

See where the compressed air comes out.

You will hear it...

tailpipe...bad exhaust valve.

throttle body/carb...bad intake valve

take off oil cap...if you hear it through there it's blowby...but unlikely since you left oil in the cylinder for 8 hours.

Worst case....open the radiator cap or expansion tank...bubbles there indicate cracked cylinder or head or head gasket failure...
