Well, here's what I found.
Compression test results: #1=150, #2=10, #3=0, #4=120, #5=148, #6=148. Crap!
.Most likely a blown head gasket between #2 and #3.
Any of you who know or work for Jasper Remanufactured Engines should take note: This long block 200 only ran 28,000 miles in eleven months and blew the gasket. It was being driven by a 58 year old one armed Nam Vet who didn't abuse it in any way (except maybe for driving to Fort Worth and stuff like that). Though the engine is still under warranty, I'll not send in a claim since I would have been tearing the thing down next week any how. Only diff is that I'll be doing it tomorrow instead!
The pics will soon start arriving. I'll also have to focus my reduced 60's era brain on the many questions that will need addressing over the next few days about ignition concerns, timing issues, and how to hammer all the crazy new parts together.
