It sounds like maybe the rod got a little longer lol and maybe piston hitting head. The balance rate on #3 is still 15+ with a new injector and all others around 2-4. compression is 300+. What's funny is #7 injector with no fuel or electricity hooked up bubbles at the top when cranking so we need another injector there too lol. Damn 01 dmax injectors haha
He asked me if we could sell it and I said no, you wanted it we are fixing it, he is in college and only works part time so it may take him a year to fund this but I gave him no choice, we sold and all original 74 chevy pu 3sp column shift with 25,000 miles on it to buy it cause he wanted it. Yes, I know I am an a-hole but hey, have to teach them just because it didn't work out like they planned doesn't mean you give up or quit! And when its done, he will be able to drive it for a long time!
