The second picture shows the section of wiring that was resting on the curve of the intake manifold. Was wondering what they go to and what the best course of action would be
Also as a side note, what should my compression numbers be? All 8 cylinders yielded the following results using an old school handheld tester. I have access to a screw in tester if I should redo it
1. 90
2. 80
3. 70
4. 90
5. 85
6. 80
7. 100
8. 90
Update: Sorry for lack of details, posted in a hurry. I am working on my 1998 Chevy K2500 with the 5.7 Vortec. I redid the test the correct way, and yielded much better numbers (partially)
1. 175
2. 165
3. no compression
4. 165
5. 165
6. 160
7. 165
8. 155
Ran an inspection camera down into the #3 spark plug hole and watched at least one valve (unsure which one, possibly both) rise and fall but don’t think one or both were seating fully. Also not sure if the piston is cracked or really sure of anything until I take the valve covers off and dive deeper. Also looked to possibly be some deposits on the intake valve.
Also, to touch on the wiring, I’m not going to worry about it until I see what’s going on internally, but might look into it just for the sake of curiosity
