My 95  Rampside engine lost it's compression on #2 and I found that the 
exhaust valve  guide was so worn that the valve can flop back and forth.  The other 
 valve guides seem to be OK.  I'm curious as to what might cause this to  
happen; anyone have any ideas on this?  Anything else I should look  at?


Ron,
The #2 exh valve is at the end of the head if I remember correctly. As a  
result it doesn't get sprayed with oil as the center valves do. So if you have  
one or morre pushrods that are not ROTATING it won't get sufficient oil.  
Therefore check pushrods for proper rotation.
