Time for a rebuild. You may be compensating for worn rings with the higher compression heads. Ho many miles on the rotating assembly?

I had the stock 305 heads on the Elky when I bought it. Ran it that way for 8+ years. When I blew a head gasket and put 350 heads on it the compression went way down and ran like puke In comparison. I think it will be better than what I have unless there are flat tops in there when I open it up. I already run premium to keep it from pinging. So it packs a punch. Just smokes real bad when it starts an it is real embarrassing. Plus I don't want to wait till the coolant and oil are mixing before I do the deed.
