Default Re: Trying to Decide Value of my 1969 Z/28

I agree find a new mechanic. My friend had a similar problem on his 67 Vette small block, and it ended up being that the intake manifold was not torqued down on the engine. I agree with Super Nova SS, start with the simple stuff and work from there.
Regarding your compression in each cylinder, I would think given your engine had 80K miles on it and all the cylinders are within 10 pounds of each other you are fine. But I am not an engine rebuilder.
