My Capri wasn't quite up to its normal self at Quaker. Ran pretty flat both time trials, then fell dead flat the first round of eliminations. Got the thing home and did a compression check ... #1 hole was pretty dead.

Started to tear into it tonight and found the culprit. This is the HLA from #1 intake. The good news is I got all the parts ...



I have also had a small exhaust leak that got substantially worse on the last pass. After dealing with cracks in the old tube header I expected something cracked. Pulled the assembly off and no cracks (good news). Pulled the turbo and found the culprit ...



I have the parts on hand and am going to throw a fresh set of valve springs on it while I'm at it.
