Read all the posts, thank you for the feedback. Tomorrow i'll run the engine up to operating temperature and perform another compression test.
I adjusted the valves on the loose side so I don't think it's a tight valve. Intakes are set to .008 and exhaust are set to ,020. If it's not head gasket related then I was thinking maybe a burnt exhaust valve on the #1 cylinder. One way or another we have to figure it out. I'm really hoping it is not a cracked head or cylinder wall...please don't let it be that.
I'll be back tomorrow and let you know what my compression readings are on a warm engine. I don't have a leak down test kit at home but I think I might be able to borrow one from a friend. That test will have to wait until I get my hands on a kit.
