Re: 1999 350 vortec K1500 head gasket

My bad, #3 and #5 are the low compression plug fouling cylinders.
I was impressed; no sludge at all under VC after 160,000 miles w/ pennzoil dino oil.
Dropped pan oil and no water after recent coolant pressure test; did have water when I pressure tested last year.
Unless I'm missing something head needs to be pulled due to low #3 and #5 compression.
There was black buildup on aluminum intake under plastic intake; not sure why.
Have yet to figure out how to remove bracket attached to back of engine; pass side plug wires under bracket; bracket also attaches at coil.
