So, I don’t think I checked compression numbers on my 5.0, but when I had the heads off because of broken bolts I decided to lap the valves and found that one hole, I think it might have been #7, had a poor seal on the valves so it was good that I did that apparently. Not saying for sure you have the same situation but it makes me wonder…
