Ron.... The Valve seals had entered my mind too ... but thought they were more likely to just give a little oil consumption all the time ... well, they would be easier to replace I guess ... all we need is compressed air and something to compress the valve springs .....
Oliver ... an Old Friend when I was growing up was into Modle A Fords ... he used to pour RISLONE into the cylinders like you suggested with the ATF ... but he usually let it sit about a week ..... then when he started it up the whole neighbourhood would disappear in a HUGE cloud of blue/white smoke .... but the engine usually did better on oil . What about adding ATF to the fuel tank .. say about 1/2 liter to the tank?
Richard ..... Have all the leaks under control except the puddle that forms from what appears to be the rear seal ... engine is running better daily but still does not rev as freely as the old greaseball .... have taken it to about 5500 .... those stiffer throttle return springs make it seem harder to really get into it .... Just taking my time getting used to it ....it definately DOES have more torque than the old engine ... LOL But that wouldn't be hard ;-)
