Hey NP…glad to help. HOWEVER…after pondering things for a while, the problem I was having locating TDC (difficulty feeling compression in #1) leads me to believe… I know you won’t wanna hear this…but… IMO - blown head gasket. Hope not…we’ll see when ya fire it up. If need be, I have a compression gauge. We can check your compression and then we’ll know for sure. ---
