ooh ya no worries I was planning on going and getting it hot tanked, and get the surface check, and decked if necessary. Looking at valve guides and springs to because there's no way my valve seals aren't fucked, and the stock valve springs will more then likely fail there spring rate test.

And one way you can check to see if low compression's do to a hg failure or piston rings is to do a leak down test and or a compression test with a cap full of oil dumped into each cylinder. If the compression goes up with the oil its your rings if not the rings are good then.

For aluminum I believe there's 3 or for 4 strength stages, I know that semi rims are stage 1.
