Check valve clearances. Could that cylinder be overfueling and 'washing' the cylinder walls? Did you do a 'wet' test?

This engine has shims which set the clearance,at least thats my understanding.And I didnt try wet cause I have no compression not just weak.Does that make sense?

Yes. Just squirt some oil into the cylinder, crank it over a few times, and recheck the compression. Is the spark plug wet with fuel?

The plug was not wet,but either was the one next to it.All I know is there is no compression rthere but 125 in adjacent(#4). and good spark.Would I have some compression with a burnt valve?Could I have a valve stuck,broken spring?Piston moves ive seen that.Could it be a hole in piston

If the valves are not opening the compression would be good. If they are too tight and not allowing one or both to close, your compression would be poor. Same with a burnt valve, would be the same if one was not closing. Have you had any timing belt issues? It is possible to have a hole in a piston, but you'd also have excessive blowby and the engine would be running like...you know what. What were the symptoms leading up to this problem? I would definitely do a wet compression test before you get too worked up. Let us know the results. I'd lean more to the possibility that the cylinder is fuel washed from an injector problem.

That would be nice but would fuel wash cause 0 compression?I have checked it with a compression gauge .

Absoutely! If the cylinder is over-fueling, it will 'rinse' off the oil that seals the rings, thereby losing compression.
You might take a sniff of the oil..it might smell like gas.

Holy smokes - that's the fastest thread I've ever seen here!
All of the above and just a thought for a test. Use compressed air into spark plug hole when on TDC and see if tons of air comes out and where- intake, exhaust, oil filler cap - may help pin it down,

thanks for the reply,I will try that as well,makes sense.That would isolate intake or exhaust valve if one of them were the suspect.

been too busy to work on truck lately but got back to it and found exhaust valve with 1/4 inch hole in it.Any ideas why it might burn so quickly.Only 30-40 thousand miles on rebuilt long block I bought.Ive had nothing but problems with this engine.
