Default RE: Y 140 no compression

Thanks Guys for all your replies.

Finally got this puppy apart and the valves looked fine..pretty clean and seating fine. Took some compound and cleaned them up anyway just to be sure. Lifted up the sleeve to expose the ring..it was very clean and moving freely. Popped the wrist pin and out came the piston and again all looks OK.. Now Im really confused as the engine ran like crap. One other minor detail though. When I removed the head I noticed that there wasn't a head gasket in place. Whoever had this engine before me must have tore it down and not replaced it. I'm pretty much sure this was the problem..I'm hoping anyway.
Thanks again for all your suggestions,
paul
