Re: '71 Chevy 1/2 4x4

It's been a while since I've posted about the truck and its coming along, but that's not entirely true. I've been having some engine troubles. I knew that the engine was missing on a cylinder, but I wasn't 100% on which cylinder it was. I suspected #6 because the plug that I took out was real clean. I did a compression test on the block and #6 had 0; ZERO psi. After finding that out I started posting in the engine section about it. Last night i took the head off and found that the intake valve for #6 was bent. I took the head to get a new valve installed, I hope to get it back some time today. Here are a couple of pix of what I found. And here is the thread that I started about the engine troubles: http://www.67-72chevytrucks.com/vboa...d.php?t=370643
