So I checked out the compression on each cylinder and it averaged about 130 and that was with my battery dying. So the engine is going to get a bath, a new oil pan gasket (maybe rear main) and a spin-on oil filter adapter then paint and go for now. Tranny is getting a bath new lube and paint... Budget can't handle rebuilds right now.
