So I finally decided to remove my cylinder head as preventative maintenance to address oil consumption concern on my 95 this past weekend. Truck was running fine, has 225k miles. I've been collecting parts for awhile now and decided to tackle this job. Gonna do lots of other stuff while I'm in there including new engine harness.
Upon removing the head I noticed the compression ring on the number one cylinder didn't look right. I didn't do a compression check before I started as the truck was running fine, no issues with a Blackstone report, just using about a quart of oil every 800 miles or so. Here's a pic of the gasket. Is this just metal fatigue?
