Cylinder leakdown test results/comments

i forgot to tell you also that the last time i did the head gasket, i found a vertical scratch on the cylinder liner #2 which is the most probable cause of the engine's blow-by. remaining 3 cylinders were clean.

maybe it's not with the power source. it could be with the drivetrain. have you checked your clutch or A/T? or the brakes (dragging)?

i've read lots on the 2-stroke additive, looks like something good to do, although I haven't done it yet.

I'm going to do my brakes shortly. I have the squeal from the front pads. and i know the rear shoes are nearing their end.

I also have a growl from somewhere in the driveline. I think my steady bearing rubber housing (along the 2 piece rear driveshaft) is going again. although this just started happening, so I don't think it's part of my problem.
