Cadillac Jim Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 The Northstar in the 1997 Eldorado developed a compression problem in number 8. A leak-down test revealed that the intake valve is causing the problem. A Caddyinfo Supporter will pick up the car in a few days and pull the front head. What we do from there depends on exactly what we find. Expectations are that we will do a valve job and put it back together. Watch this space for developments. This is a collaborative DIY project with multiple Caddyinfo participants. As such, progress is subject to availability of time, and there will be deliberations and discussions that usually won't be publicly posted.
