Default Re: V8 lack of power

soot under the valves is a common occurrence and reduces compression somewhat..a concoction of oil and kero drizzeled down the throat of carb and mid throttle..helps..however a little smokey....low compression.short trips compound,poor design is part of the problem..6.8 comp isnt high enough to burn off the poor fuel we cram in the engines as they get older as we do!
