OK I wanted to ask the experts out there about the loss of speed when approaching and climbing hills on the highway. I drove to Alabama from Arizona and it seemed that every time that I started climbing a hill my speed dropped at least 10-15 mph. On the straight ways I had no problem with doing 65-70. Is this some indication that I might have some compression leaking, maybe a burnt valve? I know my cylinders, piston rings are good to go I replaced rings and honed my cylinders on my engine before I left. I cleaned the carbon on my heads but did not do a rebuild of them. I think this will be my next course of action.
