There's always Bad news...

well after I got the wiring hooked up i cranked the motor over to check compression today and I got 30-60-150-90... pretty much the same as when I took the motor apart. Did a leak down test, and pretty much every intake valve is leaking bad. I must have bent some valves when I over reved the motor. It's weird cause there is no marks on the pistons. I have an extra complete set of kia valves, I may just lap them and put them in for now. I really don't have the money right now to do a complete valve job. I also have an extra head so I may put the vr6 spring and intake keepers on it and use the extra one. The only good thing about the head I just took off is that its got a nice port job.... I got a lot of thinking to do...
