Default need some help

hello new here to the forum , im working on a friends 02 eclipse 3.0 . car ran out of coolant and died on the road (dont know more then that), so i cranked the car with fresh water (for testing) and it spit out of the radiator as fast as i poured it in , blow head gasket. so i pull the heads and notice big holes carved into the head where there not meant to be ( my thoughts hot stem eating aluminum). replaced heads and all gaskets , now i have 30 psi of compression on cylinders 1-5 and 90 on 6 , does any one think the cam could be out of timing or maybe something more serous. any help would be much appreciated. thank you

If it overheated to the point of "dying on the road", I would think a lot more serious damage was done. It is running now? Are you sure you got it all back together correctly?

i think you mean "au contraire" and i dont think you quite grasp its meaning, nor usage.

figured it out, pulled a rookie move , when they shiped the heads all the valve adjustment was pulled out except the one with compression( cause that one was probably on a compression stroke when pulled of the other car), so there lies the problem no valves opening no compression . thanks for no help akzle, i would never let an ******* like you even speak towards me, and for the others thank you for your thoughts
