Yeah, compression test didn't look good at all Took it apart today and noticed that the #8 & #4 intake pushrods weren't even in the holes to the lifters!

I ended up putting in the 6.1 intake and exhaust pushrods on both sides. I started it up and it purrs. I drove it for a while and everything is smooth. Thanks guys

Sorry it was misleading...both intake and exhaust pushrods, not the actual 6.1 intake manifold. On that topic though, I've heard that it loses a little low end or I'd probably try to find one.
