When I bought the truck it ran fine (never worked on by me) until the one of the freeze plugs sprung a leak, over-heated and blew the head (crack on 3)
I bought a replacement head from a salvage yard
took the valves off the old head, cleaned and lapped them to the new head (I took off the new head valves because they were too long)
I put the original rocker arm assembly back onto the new head. all of the rockers look the same for the intake and for the exhaust.
now were at the stage of checking the compression to make sure I didn't burn up any internal parts,
I loosened the assembly and I got compression in all 4.
saying all this all out loud, I fear that I might have grabbed a 2.4/2.6 head from the salvage yard? and maybe the assembly isn't working with the new head.
also. would something like this be worth investing in?
