Message	I've seen that happen before..... maybe you can remove all the cam shafts and try another compression test, if the numbers are still low on those cylinders -he failed at valve lapping or the valves are bent and binding in their guides, if the numbers are good then it's time for some refurbed/new lifters. ____________________________________________________ "The dreaded 2nd windshiled wiper swipe when you turn it off its almost like tis showing you that it's boss, and it doesn't have to stop when you tell it to :("-College Boy (discussion on ptu relocation) "No good reason to put it there anyway. -Bernie (NoVA) False -vorpalZ False. -Bernie (NoVA) You're correct, there are 3 good reasons -vorpalZ False. -Bernie (NoVA) Wow, right again, just remembered another, make that 4 -vorpalZ" XD
