Bummer!!  Since you cannot attack pictures to V V messages... try  posting on 
your webspace..or one of the freebies... then send us the link.
 
Suggestions??   dismantle and CLEAN everything... then start  measuring those 
things not bent or broken

Many  thanks to all who offered help with my question regarding no
compression in  cylinder #3.  I would especially like to acknowledge Michael,
Bill,  Harry, James, JR, Jack, Russell Ron and Clark for their specific help
and  recommendations.  Lots of good suggestions, but in the end, it turns  out
to be something completely different!

I hope you will be able to  view the pictures I took of the culprit.  I would
describe this as  catastrophic damage to the rod, rod cap and bearing.
Probably did a number  on my crankshaft too.

Still interested in hearing from anyone that  wants to lob in ideas,
suggestions, amusing anecdotes or words of  encouragement.

Thanks  again,
Jedd
