BTW, what were your compression numbers warm? I re-read your first post and those numbers look okay. Maybe #2 is carboned up a bit. Then why the clean plug? A little coolant in the cylinder would bump compression...

Yep, I let the engine warm up before I did the compression test. I did see discussion on rod bearings in another forum. Very strong advice for changing them. I actually bought an engine support for the possibility that I would need to access the bottom of one of my engines. Not looking forward to that.
Question here: anybody willing to admit they did NOT do the bearing change after oil cooler/head gasket maintenance? Oh, that's gonna get er goin'!
I haven't ordered bearings yet and would really wanna see if I get a repeat oil/coolant mix before changing them. But, after seeing the OC gasket, I might just have it. Pictures in my next post.
