120K on the engine. I don't think it's overheated before. Bought it from a co-worker for 250. His "mechanic" tried to get the head off, but was unable. Took me about two hours thanks to the fact that he already removed half the stuff.

In looking at the Head I can see no noticeable signs of something wrong with it. Gasket doesn't show any signs of being cracked.

No Compression in the no 5. The Piston looks fine with the normal burnt oxidation on it. The cylinder walls seem smooth with no scraps and so forth.

I'm wondering if maybe it was caused by either a sticking valve or from the valve's no sealing. I took a wrench and turned the camshaft and it doesn't seem like the valves on the no5 are all the way sealed.

That would cause no compression right??
