Engine condition would determine my next move. I'm assuming you checked the compression before you started this thread, right?
I don't know how old the build is on the motor. I haven't done a compression check. I am waiting for the adapter to come in. It runs too good for the compression to be very low. But with a motor, anything may be wrong. I have heard about putting tranny fluid to each cylinder, but this is the first time I have heard putting acetone with it.
