Seems really silly that they didn't do a leak-down before they yarded off the
head !!!
These problems are kinda hard to play detective w/ when the top half has gone
missing off to the shop !!
some rambling thoughts... bad head gasket ? ..... was this together long
enough to have the head re-torqued ?? Loose headbolt ?
Ring installation ? something "hung up" in the rings ? Ring gaps lined up
together by mistake (dont think this would cause such a huge difference )
If the head is still off you could turn the engine over and peek in the holes
to see if anything looks like its scraping... try putting a small bit
(enough to cover the top of the piston) of motor oil in each cyl.... see if
the low comp cyls drain out faster.... ? Wonder if they checked the head for
cracks before they dug into it ?? Presssure test ? I hope they let YOU take a
look.....
