motor has one race and it won. i did a leak down test and it was 4 to7 percent, sprayed marvel mystery oil in through carb before we pulled it out to put in our good motor, just got it done. when we took header off #2 exh port was perfectly dry. all the others were saturated with marvel. pulled valve cover everything looks super. compression was 160 on all cylinders. any ideas why number 2 would be dry and not oily. when i was spraying it with oil it was smoking like it blew up so i know it had a bunch in it. was spraying it with oil so there would be no chance of anything rusting or drawing moisture while it was setting. just keeping cyl and valves oiled up
