    After running dry and wet compression tests these were my best numbers.
    #1 - 140
    #2 - 90
    #3 - 90
    #4 - 120
    #5 - 90
    #6 - 130
    #7 - 120
    #8 - 90

    Heres where it gets interesting... the firing order on a y block is 15486372. When you arrange them like this -
    1548
    6372
    1 and 6 are 90° from each other, meaning when one is on compression, 6 is on exhaust and so on...5 and 3, 4 and 7. So I arranged the compression readings in the same order...
    140 90 120 90
    130 90 120 90
    I am not positive what this points at, Maybe valve lash? I am going to check the rockers next and cold adjust em to .019
