You may also run the compression check again to verify the result.

my truck has the same problem, except i have oil in the intake, so check for that and if you do i'm pretty sure that it's a head gasket

ok.......so. i pulled the head off and there was about a 1/2 cup of oil in piston one. so that definitely means its piston rings right? also...when i set the head down this black oil/gas mixture came out of the intake of pistons 3 and 1. what does that mean? and does anyone know of a good honest mechanic around long beach, anaheim, san diego, or orange county area, CA who can fix this kind of thing for me?
