so far you've spent 399.00 plus your time and you still don't know why you had zero compression in that cylinder. I'd do more homework before you put things together to make sure you have things in order/know whats going on.
well considering everything i've checked and that the valves on number six were probably stuck open from A: tired 60 year old springs and B: possibly overtightened rockers. my money is on the head. if you or anyone else has anything else for me to troubleshoot b4 throwing it all back together be my guest and point me in the right direction. but imo there is really not much else?!?!
i was planning on having the head rebuilt at some point in time in the future when i pulled and freshened the motor anyways. so it's not like i wouldn't have spent the $399 sooner or later. I AM however very glad i'm not gonna need to rebuild the shortblock because of a dropped valve!
