it wasnt a dead cylinder.
just a weak one.

remember i dont have money like most of you.
i could t afford to pull the heads and get new valve 50k miles ago.
i ran it. it ran well yes a noise started so ripped apart the bottom end (thinking it was that) and replaced bearings and slapped some arp studs on rods and mains and a few more things to freshen the motor up.
i wasnt intending on pulling the heads for this job.
but thats the only possible thing that can be the problem now.
and another reason i didnt pull them out of car and spent 300$ on lifters and valves was bc of the damn studs.
arp is fubekdndk expensive
