Default Built engine: 80-175-90-180 What's wrong?

What's wrong with this engine? The block has 19 miles, the head has zero (0) miles. Before my motor first went down (11/2005) it tested 210-210-210-210 and that was when HKS 272's were in. Since then, I've sold the 272's to fix the engine. I've installed & re-installed the head twice in the past two days.

DAy2: 80-180-80-180
Pistons 1 (80) & 3 (80)have oil on top of them, 2 (180) & 4 (180) are clean... no coolant.
What could it be? I'm about ready to throw in the towel.

BTW, this is a 4G63T using Cometic HP HG... I JUST got the head from Abacus.

What's the rest of the story? What did you have done at Abacus? Why did you send it to Abacus?

Sounds like there is something wrong with the head? Maybe valves or something? You sure it had NO miles on it? Or was it rebuilt?

bent valves or timing is off

if your 100% positive the valves arent bent make positive that your timing is correct the valves may be opening at the wrong times.

Can't a bad valve adjustment make compression go down some?
