im making a stump puller not race truck i have intake and heads and im going to get 351 2 barrels heads this week
lossen all your rockers you have way to little compression. sounds like all your valves are being held open a little bit due to either to long a push rod. Loosen intake and exhaust on 1 cylinder and retest your compression. if it goes up you need shorter pushrods unless you upgraded to an adjustable valvetrain. If it does not go up put some oil in the cylinder and retest compression. Do you have a adjustable regulator on the fuel line? If you have an internally regulated fuel pump it could be going bad and overpressurizing causing too much fuel into the cylinders washing the oil away and wiping out your rings also, which may also cause your low compression. With 15000 miles on a rebuilt engine you should be seeing a compression of 75psi or better with a variance of 15% or less between cylinders. That would be using a long hosed compression gauge.
Hope this helps
On edit didnt notice there was more than 1 page to this thread. looks like you found the problem. Good luck!
