My 440 Indy has ran worse and worse over the winter, boggy, hard to start. I was looking it over today and found 5 of the 7 cylinder block Nuts missing, and one of the remaining 2 was finger tight. The middle one on the carb side was tight, the left/center on the exhaust side was there but finger tight. I bought it 3 years ago, the seller works on sleds, said he had “ gone through the motor”, not sure wha t he meant by that. i haven.t been able to check compression yet, I did look down the plug holes, tops of the pistons are spotless and shiny. I am assuming he forgot to torque them or didn‘t torque them enough. I’m thinking gaskets from the cylinder block up, any other thoughts?
Thanks,
Steve
