[QUOTE="itzHypn0tic, post: 15964463, member: 190475"] So I discovered I have no compression on two cylinders and have already pulled the intake off of my 2000 lightning... I will be pulling the heads off next weekend to check them out and will probably need to rebuild them. It looks like my valves are messed up on two cylinders, and I'm hoping to get away with only rebuilding the heads. Im not an expert on these engines by any means and was wondering if anyone had recommendations for work that I should look to have done to the engine while it's apart... I read that there's certain mods like deleting the lower intake PCV that I should look into, but Im a little confused on how this works... To the best of my knowledge I would just plug the back of the intake, install a catch can between the passenger valve cover and the upper intake, and leave the driver side alone? Am I missing something here or is there any down side to doing this? Also is it worth to port stock heads, etc? I plan on porting the supercharger, but don't exactly know which porting design is best... Is it ok to port into or plug the silencers here? Please let me know what reccomended work should be done while it's apart before I have to go back and year it apart in the future :(. Any input would be greatly appreciated! [/QUOTE]
