Low compression on cylinder #4
I do a pretty hard pull from 2nd into 3rd, well something just didnt feel/sound right. I had a bad miss and my check engine light was blinking, yes BLINKING, which on GM's means imminent engine failure I think?. Soooo I pull it in the bay cross my fingers and hope to find a injector unplugged or a spark plug wire not plugged in all the way or even a vacum leak. So I grab my scanner and it says misfire on cylinder 4. I pull the plug and there is oil all over it (not a good sign). Hook up the gauge crank her over and she read 0!! So looks like I will be rebuilding an engine now.
I want to beef her up real nice, who is making the best forged internals? I heard the stock crank is good and will hold a lot of power, this car will see a supercharger right after the install. I would like to keep factory compression ratio though in case I want to go back N/A. What is everyone's thoughts? Thanks

Any recommendations on where to get a nice shortblock? I think I will get a 383 stroker and stay N/A for now but would like one with forged internals in case I want to go a different route in the future.

Dude,,,remove I had zero in one of my cylinders,,,thought I blew the motor,,,but walah,,I removed the head,,,ran some water in the runners,,and found it to be a very slighty bent valve,,
Let me tell you,,the valve when removed looked fine,,but stick the valve in a drill and spin it up and any variations show fast,,
remove your head in question,,lay it down so the intake runners are facing up,,,then fill up slowly each intake runner and watch and see which valve in the suspect cylinder is leaking,,then do this same act to the exhaust ports,,this is hot I found my bent valve,,,25 bucks a valve,,god luck
