One Or All 4?
I'm getting some of the desire back to work on old cars......which is good since I just bought this '28 Sport Coupe and it needs engine work. I'm considering doing a compression check, pulling the head and checking things out and dropping the pan to see what's happening in there. The big issues is the supposed rear main leak, burning oil and oil soaked plug in #1. It also runs rough and has exhaust leaks which bother me, but could come later. Anyway, I say all this to ask.....cylinders 2-4 look fine (some soot), but if I'm going to replace the rings on #1 should I also do the others? Or if I don't see signs of oil there would I be ok to skip it? This engine was supposedly rebuilt around 1,000 miles ago.
