Hummm sounds major to me .... I think while you wait for the compression tester extension , I'ed pull off the valve cover and crank it over ans see if the valves are all moving like they should be.... the cam chain may be laying in the bottom of the sump ya never know...
you can check to see if the valve timing is spot on too by pulling that cover...
I got the online manual and it goes into good detail on it.
....
I don't know but I suspect it may be easier to pull the entire engine than to just pull the valve cover ! they are so tight fit in the frame after all !
maybe Triple Jim will voice his opinion on that, he has much more experience than I do on these monsters....
