It depends on your leak down percentages and your compression increase. Somebody with a phd in physics might could calculate something for you if you had your leak down results, compression numbers, original head cc’s, new head cc’s...
I’m not even going to try to wrap my head around it. It’s just a bad idea. If you have some cut heads slap them on, you’ll be blazing a new path! A path to nowhere, but a new path nonetheless...Josh Peterson

Well that's how I found out the issue. Took head off and they were cut so put stock ones on and seen low compression

OK so I was doing more looking at this 2.4 I have with back half block unpainted. It has all steel cyl. I was looking for signs of sleeves but I can't really find anything. How can I tell if it's sleeves

Well chit. Well its defiantly not slicked up like chrome. Guess my question is if u put chrome cyl rings in a steel cyl (not prepped like chrome) would that give it low compression all over? All 6 is low 90 or below. I'm not trying to save this motor just trying learn thing or 2 I rekon , but if this is the case could b worth lookin into

Chrome bores ran a non plated iron ring. Iron bores used a chrome plated iron ring.
Dont know why why everybody calls them a steel bore, they’re not, they are iron.
