I did also discover i may have a blown head gasket on one side due to the factho t i just put new plugs in the thing even though the previous owner had sworn hed put new plugs in well in my search to find answers i discovered that cylinder 5 has some pitting on it around the base is this a for sure sign or could this be from bad valve guides some sort of oil seepage it wasa little bit of white ash on the very tip thanks again latech
