still getting random P0302, sometimes it stays and sometimes it goes away,
Today's compression numbers are as follows:
cyl
1 @ 163
2 @ 148, 154 wet*
3 @ 166
4 @ 177
5 @ 166
6 @ 166
* "If the compression comes up markedly, 40 PSI or more, the trouble is poor ring to bore sealing. If compression doesn't increase much, about 5 PSI, then the problem is probably with the valves. It could also be pulled head studs or a warped cylinder head."
Leak Down test yielded that cyl 2 was operating well into the green range and good to go.
which leads me to believe that this is a possible lifter problem, since this compression is still low after Head Swap
