    First off, Welcome to CHR!

    Bummer of a post - could be a couple things that would not affect compression. It may be a bad intake manifold gasket or a cracked intake manifold. I'd check there before pulling heads.

    Coolant in cylinder 6. It still held 210 compression. It's still odd the there is a big difference between the driver and passenger side. I'll send the heads out to get them checked. I've also read that cam timing could cause the huge difference in compression. Does that sound logical?

    Was the block magnafluxed when it was rebuilt? For your sake I hope it's a bad head and not the block. BTW, welcome aboard.
