No Compression In 3 Cylinders!!!!
Hey, guys... got the news that I don't have any compression in 3 of my cylinders. What are some of the causes of that?
They said it was the cam... but if it was the cam then wouldn't all 8 cylinders fail?

then you know if it is rebuild time or just seal change time.

it would show you if your actualy valves aren't sealing, or if your rings aren't sealing. maybe that's what you said and i miss read it

Maybe I word it wrong (darn half breed that i am )
If the valves are sealing or not or if the rings are loosing the pressure.
He could have valves hanging open, or not seating properly or rings are shut.

YAY!!! 4 Cylinders busted. One of my rollers screwed up and chewed through the harden steel of my cam and stripped one of the lifters. It's great!!! Tranny busted. YAY!!! Clutch... busted!!! YAY!!!
So here I am... having a great week!!! Would this be a full engine rebuild build? If so... wouldn't Z06 parts (ie heads and clutch) be a simple swap?
