Hello peeps,
Here is a basic question. But I've been stumped a bit. I have a 95' Eagle Talon Tsi AWD with 67k on it. Last year the waterpump went bad. I had the water pump changed along with the timing belt. Once it was done, the car was running rough. #3 was not getting good compression. We did a dry and wet test and the culprit was the valves. I had the head pulled off and replaced it with another identical 2g head. Bam. Same exact problem. #3 has low compression. Test came back the same also. I do not believe it is bad valves on both heads. Especially when the car was running perfect before the waterpump/timingbelt change. So, now the car runs rough. I have an idea of what might be the problem, but I wanted your imput.
Thanks in advance

Did you bend valves before, and possibly damage your piston
