Good Evening Everyone, have not posted here in a while. I have a 1965 Volvo 122s withy a 1974 B20, fuel injected head with weber carb. Just completed a rebuild with new bearings, piston rings, etc. Reason for rebuild is due to no compression on number 3 cylinder. Prior to rebuild, I tried a carbureted cylinder head just to make sure it was not the FI Cylinder head. Same issue, no compression on number 3 cylinder. So I went ahead and did the rebuild. Put everything back together and I'm back to same issue, no compression on number 3 cylinder. I cannot figure out what the issue is. Put air through the sparkplug holes and it will move the crank on all cylinders, but when I do a compression test, nothing. I just can't think that both cylinder heads will have the valve's bent or similar issue. I tested the carbureted cylinder head by putting water on the intake/exhaust port holes and the valves appear tight as nothing is leaking. Not sure if the FI cylinder head may have a bent valve, but as I said earlier, I would not think both cylinder heads will have the same bent valve or similar issue. If anyone has any ideas, please post here. Thank you so much.
