you know my jaw dropped when i saw 0psi yes actually 0 not 5 or 10 or 20 but a fat 0psi lol, soo much that i thought my cheap comp. gauge had busted so i went back to # 5 and ran that one a second time sure enough 115psi go back to #6 for the 2nd time 0psi again.
i noticed the truck running weak from one day to the next, i guess it was running on 5 cyl. and i also noticed like i said it reved up quicker then usuall and to higher rpms. i have yet to rotate the crank by hand but will this weekend. i'll report my findings. like i said i saw both valves moving up and down with no problem which is why i pulled the head. do rods on these motors go so easily? i broke a rod in a 302 ford once and the piston stayed up and the valves where slapping the heck out of it, it was extremelly loud and noticible!!! in this case i hear no unusual noises what so ever from the 235. i did have to turn my idle screw all the way up to keep the engine idling at around 800-900rpms as before the idle screw was 1/4 to 1/2 way for same rpm.
thanks alot for all your responses and please keep them coming!!!!!!
