Here are the results:

3 160
4 150
5 160
6 150
7 155
8 150

Now keep in mind that this engine has 165k on her. I think its pretty good but I want your opinions as well.

It was a warm dry test. And I am looking for a cheap 318. If anyone has one for sell pm me. I'm looking to spend 100-150. It can be a bad engine, high mileage, blown gaskets. It doesnt have to come with the accessories, intake, exhaust manifolds...I only want the heads.

those numbers are good but the ones i got from my 81 last time i checked it were better. i even checked with 2 different gauges because i could not believe the numbers i was getting. i think the gas bath helped it get those numbers.
