Well this past Saturday night i was drivin it out the highway and i heard a tapping under the hood....i got home thinkin maybe a lifter got out of adjustment some how.....next morning i start it up and can hear a real light tick but can tell it was not hitting on all 8.....i pull the dipstick and right away see there is coolant in the oil.....did a compression test and found #5 was about half of what the others are.....

Love is grand. Dog house may not be that bad as long as you don't have to share it with that horse you call a dog. Not much room with him in there. lol
