My gas mileage was fairly low. Oddly enough, it was low before this most
recent rebuild and low afterwards, suggesting that I have a problem in my
FI system somewhere. Once I get an engine again I will try to figure out
the FI problem.
The studs looked OK and I did not detect any twist in them as I was
removing the cylinder head nuts. If the stud was pulling, is that
something I would easily notice?
I also noticed the leak. It appears that I was leaking out of cylinder 2
(the one with the burned valve) and (if I am looking at this right)
cylinder 4--both to the rear of the engine.
