Hey guys long story short my #6 cylinder has 0 psi of compression (others are 1-100, 2-120, 3-135, 4-115, 5-115) head gasket looked ok, the short block was rebuilt at some point (cylinder walls are beautifull and the pistons look newer) the head doesn't look a 1/4 as good though. so head is off, valves look good and so do the springs. thinking of having the following done:
-seals
-guides
-3 angle valve job
-hot tank and clean
-deck/shave to square the surface
how much do you guys think would be a reasonable price for the above work at a machine shop?!?!
hoping to take the truck to a show 4 hours away in 3 weeks.
should i replace the piston rings on #6 while the head is out for safe measure?!?! how do i measure the cylinders to see the size of overbore if any?!
this is just a "fix" i do plan on pulling the motor after the show and going through everything!!!!!
this is a 56 235 on a 54 cheby 3100
would greatly apreciate any responses!!!!
