Turns out my head gasket was a lot worse than I thought. Was leaking compression between all but 3 and 4. Oil drainback was leaking into the combustion chamber. Compression was blowing into the water. Ill get pics tomorrow...

Also have a nice pic of what the spray pattern of pods looks like on non i/c pistons with the timing to the head...
