I did a comp test on my wag's 360 and I proved that it has 1 bad ring(80psi) all the others are running pretty high (around 150) because I replaced the heads (it isnt carbon buildup). There is a 360 for sale in a 79 j10 today I did a compression test on it and on one cylinder it had only 30psi :( and it didnt go up after I squirted oil in there. all the rest were around 143psi except one that has 125 and when I put in the oil it goes to about 150.
so how much is this engine worth? should I get it and swap the new heads off my engine onto it to help the 30psi valve and forget about the cylinder with 125psi? Or should I just rebuild my 360? Keep in mind I am a 16yr old without alot of money. :cool:

Seems like from the way your post reads, your engine is in better shape. I'd stick to what you have and try to repair it. JMHO

Should I rebuild my 360 or should I get a long block or a short block. I want to do the regular engine mods like cam carb etc.
