[QUOTE="MalcolmV8, post: 11705546, member: 8854"] Yes I used an automotive stethoscope to verify it was just the rings. Air was coming out the valve covers and dipstick tube only. Nothing in the cooling system, intake or exhaust. I see you're new on the site and I assume new to 03 Cobras. If you do some searching you'll see these cars are notorious for over heating and damaging cylinders 7 & 8. The theory is that they get to hot because the coolant has no exit on the back of the driver's head. Search for head cooling mods, there's a few. Anyhow I've seen pics of melted pistons, damaged rings etc. that guys have posted up here from cylinder 7 & 8. [/QUOTE]
