440 ordeal continued

is that compression on 1 cylinder or all 8? back them off till it rattles and if it dont run you need to do a compression test, no one can fix this without solid numbers to work with. im sorry ,feels like, and i think it does is not concrete enough to diagnose by. Ive decked several sets of heads and shimmed the pedestals the difference the heads were cut and never had to buy pushrods and adjustable rockers unless i ran a solid cam. if lifters are pumped up tighten them till they dont rattle and its gotta work. if you have no compression with them loose something else is wrong. are the rocker shafts oriented right. oil feeds on the pedestals right with the shafts.if not the rockers can gall and keep valves open.
