    Im gonna pull the valve cover tomorrow on lunch and check the valve springs and measure lift off the valve see if the cams wiped out. From there i figure do a leakdown test and hope its not rings. Its my own fault for buying a car with a miss i guess but the ls family in general is pretty damn durable so i didnt think much of it.

    Btw i dont think its a headgasket/head bleeding compression since i have totally different numbers on both adjacent cylinders, thats y i checked those 3 on lunch today.
