2004 Ram 1500 5.7 hemi.
Have to pull head on Bank 1. How many issues am I gonna run into.

 

Depends on your luck. If it's good, you won't run into any. If it's not.... you will run into all of them.

 

Yes I would guess that!
It's a southern truck, so hoping for the best.
Thanks

 

Why do you have to pull the head? No real information in your post other then you believe in luck apparently.

 

Well if I were lucky I wuld not be planning to pull the head. Had issues with the engine so did a compression test. All reults were good, within acceptable limits except for cyl 1 which read 0. Suspect a valve issue at this time. Pulled valve cover and could not see any issues. Next step is to do bring cly 1 to TDC and do a leak test to see where air is coming out - TB, exhaust or oil fill. Hopefully TB or exhaust.
Engine is high mileage but no sludge or gunk under valve cover. Maintaince has been kept up. Truck is an 04 2 door, Larmie short box Black with an SRT hood. Truck has all options on it as it came from Dodge. It looks like a Rumbe Bee & often mistaken for one, but it is not. The only mods are- performance chip, cold air intake & dual exhaust from manifold back with no cats.
Hate to lose it.
