Bad Compression, Rebuilt Engine...

[john]

I pulled the head, the valves hit. It appears only on the exhaust side though... That would cause the large drop in compression on the 34k rebuild right? The numbers were posed above.

Yes, it would. You might want to have the head checked for flatness if it blew a HG(and the block, but that's kinda hard).

The head is now at the shop for some work. John can give you more info if he wants.

The previous owner had the head plained so that should be fine. New valves and the car SHOULD start.
