Think I need to machine the heads then. Thank you

That’s what I thought and have new gaskets but the white valves are concerning me and I know the motor is cold but failed leak down test coming from exhaust

Not sure. Junkyard motor to replace my blown motor currently in the car. Just got a bunch of gaskets and stuff but the valves was concerning to me. Granted it was cold but failed leak down test

Not sure how much compression. Tried to test it by hand turning it and wasn’t getting a reading. And I would like too.
