Pressure tested my motor, all cylinders are 115-122. I really can't believe it for 200,000+ miles. Could it be the pcv valve causing problems or is it more than likely my head?

Not the CCV system for sure. Have someone do a "block check" test on it where they test for exhaust gasses in the cooling system.

So I'm going to say screw it. It doesn't over heat when I wheel it or driving around town. It runs perfect with perfect compression. No oil in coolant no coolant in oil. So I'll just trailer it to my wheeling spots. Easy as that!
