If the timing's fine....I want a compression check on all cylinders, not
just the ones you can get to. I wanna know of the head gasket's leaking
or the head is cracked, both of which will make the compression suck.
(Or, maybe a cracked ring, but let's be more positive than that for
now...(c

Because of the new heads, I'm thinking they may be warped, even a tiny
bit is enough to make the head gasket leak and go bye bye...causing it to
overheat because it's running LEAN...never a good thing.

What color is the exhaust pipe inside? Dark Chocolate brown, I hope.
Talk to me about what ALL, not just a couple of those plugs look like
after you pull them out for the compression check. Any of them look
white? or very light brown? (lean) Are they all the same color? What
color?

So many questions....I'm going to bed. Let us know these answers.

We milled the heads flat on a GM350 that was overheating and running
lean. Temperature dropped and the thermostat closed! Acceleration, with
ALL the cylinders pulling like mad, not just half of them, was most
impressive....(c;

Pray it doesn't need a ring job or has leaky valves. Does any cylinder
"wheeze" when its cranking before it fires? Start easy cold?

What does the compression read in each cylinder?
