Well gang, I finally delved into this. I checked compression...150psi on all but #2...#2 reads zero! So I pulled the valve cover. One of the rockers on #2 was very loose but I don't think it was out of place. I removed it and shimmed under the lifter to snug it up and did another compression...- Jnicho
