okay heres the deal, couple months ago my truck over heated so i replaced water pump, thermostat, engine flush, still over heated, saw coolant in oil so thought i better change head gaskets. i broke engine down regasket everything and i ended up buying another head because 2 cylinders where doin 50 psi, now heres my compression test:
cylinder 1- 135
2- 120
3- 125
4- 122
5- 124
6- 130
the first thing i did was compressed the first 2 cylinders and they was at 150, but im guessing the battery was fully charged at the time so that's why im thinking it went down, i watched the gauge and they was not losing air.
Did in-line spark test- all lines are good, tester says check ignition system but i got it to start when 2 cylinders was 50 psi, engine was hard to start and engine shook but it still started.
i did a fuel test and im gettin 52-55 psi
i have replaced spark plugs then gapped, spark plug wires and the battery.
when i took all the plugs all out they all had some gas and alittle oil or carbon, i dont think that would make it where it would not start?
any help at this time would be appreciated!!
Engine does crank, and turns over, tries to start but does not, has spark, fuel, and compression. why wont it start!?
