Written update . I have had a bunch of motor issues . I thought I got a head gasket on the odd side during the truck race as I had compression in the radiator . I pulled it down and found no issues so I put it back together with new head gaskets . Still leaking down . I pulled the motor and took it to the machine shop for a freshen up as it was smoking . Turns out 3 guide seals on the even side and one on the odd side had ridden the stem up and it was pulling oil down the stems . Machinist suggested pressure checking heads . I had a set of out of the box 210 AFR and a new Victor junior that I threw back on top of my "fresh" short block . Same results . Turned out to be a hole in #5 cylinder . I pulled it back down and found the hole . I got another block and had the machine work done . Im guessing the bore was to tight for the piton or the ring end gap was to tight as it locked up after 2 time trials .
