i am guessing you have a 2.6L
i take it you just did a compression test
these moters do not have 0 clearance heads
meaning pistons don't bend valves
are you sure Dissy is set to TDS on compresion stroke
and if you still have jet valvs that none are stuck open

the distributor is not a problem but it barely has any compression even though the rings are brand new. and it has the jet valve eliminator kit. im stumped now on this truck
