i didnt know you were suposed to remove them
Ummm, then how did you get the cam in and out?
I thought that he meant for just the compression test. yes they are in there. the motor will run but mostly on cylinders 6&8

considering he is testing it correctly, if it runs i doubt your getting 0 compression in all those cylinders.

Judging from those #'s, the engine doesn't run correct? If it does, then you screwed up doing the test.
what could cause it to be soo off? also what should the compression normally be at (roughly)
Shouls be 145 at the lowest but around 160 is really good, mine were all between 152-159

Did you remember to install a head gasket? Or did you blow your head gasket all to hell?
