Did a compression test after the truck started to run bad and a plug change didnt do anything.....low and behold #3 only held 35 to 60 psi.....so teardown has begun
Compression Test

Number three is the one I'm having a problems with too. I'm pretty sure that cylinder ate a piston ring, but I haven't done a compression check and a leakdown check yet.
What were your symptoms?

idled rough like it had a misfire....plug change did nothing...all the coils checked out good and no codes....a compression check is an easy deal btw
I'm sorry to hear about both your motors and hope they're back up and running soon.
Yeah, I know how easy it is (just gotta pull all the plugs) I just don't have the setup to do the test. I have to borrow the tools for the leakdown and the compression test from my buddy.
I have a couple threads running around here, probably a bunch of pages back, documenting my probs.
My problems occurred while laying the smackdown on a 350Z.

I paid 32 bucks for my tester.....
mine did 145-150 across the board.....except the #8 which was 120:bash:
Maybe it's just a burned valve and you won't have to pull the SB. Good luck!
Teardown continues:
Well, if nothing else, get that 'cooler core cleaned out, and port match everything. Good luck with your engine, i hope its nothing serious.. Believe me, i know how it feels.
thanks man..but at this point I am thinking screw it..pull the short block and sell it if it is good...then build it back exactly like I want no matter how long it takes
