ok guys well here is the scoop. everything is back together......
previous compression test:
1-100, 2-120, 3-135, 4-115, 5-115, 6-0
compression test with rebuilt head, no other changes
1-150, 2-155, 3-155, 4-145, 5-145, 6-160
yeap the worse cylinder is now the best!!! picked up at least 15-20 horsepower. truck is quieter, revs easier, picks up was faster.
had a minor issue with the rocker oiling system which maybe you guys can help with?!?! the oil isn't making it up the tube and instead coming out around the oiling tube. any fixes for this issue?!?! i made a video to show it (i hadn't adjusted the valves yet on it, why the rockers are noisy)
also had another minor issue with overheating. i had noticed the head gasket water passages were about 1/4-1/2 the size of the passages on the block/head. so i said to myself i'd trim them. however i forgot to and just bolted on the head. well the truck used to never overheat, used to run in the middle of the gauge and now its almost all the way up top. this with a 160 stat and an aluminum radiator. i'm pulling out the stat as a temp fix but will eventually need to replace the head gasket and trim the passages. anyways just thought you guys should know for future reference.
