I had to do a rebuild at like 164500. I had my motor rebuilt for $1200. It took me about 3 days to remove and install. I bought $200 in new parts for engine. It runs freaking great! If you got the money to go big, don't go home!

Cause then you know from there on, your truck is going to be reliabe for quit sometime if you remember to maintain it.

Yea if anything im going to try to rebuild it if it comes to that.... the problems are just freaking me out i went to check the rocker arms and whatnot and all the valve cover bolts were on finger tight wtf???? 15-30 psi is was low valves seem to be working fine but i dont know whats going on inside dont think it could be a headgasket because it wouldnt be the same pressure all cyl i think? I talked to my shop teacher who was the one who gave it to me (it was his nephews) he said the head is orig nobody touched the head and the timing seems to be fine because the 2 timing marks line up? So it kinda has to be the rings but i still cant get why its so LOW if anybody has any ideas tell me pls. tia

Two things to check before you tear it down.

1. Take out the camshaft pulley bolt. The pulley has 4 holes. Make sure the pin is on the hole that points to the #1 in the pulley. On 626 engines, it is set to another number other than 1. Can't remember. If it is not on the #1 hole, you have to release the belt tensioner and rotate the pulley so the pin is #1. that will explain why it is out of time and low compression.

2. If the cam pulley is dead on #1, do a leakdown test. A leakdown will pinpoint where it is leaking.

I notice that the pulley has 4 around half inch size holes but i dont know what they do or what the "pin" is because anything is better then a blown motor right about now

The four holes I was talkin about are hidden behind the bolt and washer. You can only see it if you take out the bolt.
Check that first.

Here i a pic of how the camshaft Pulley should be installed with the shaft dowel pin on # 1.

Ohhh i see what u mean now. Would i have to take off the belt and everything or could i just take out the bolt and it would stay up thereso i can see the pin?
