V-6 Compression - 175 vs. 75 lbs.

[cleverlion]

95' 3VZE 4Runner - 1/2 175lbs / 1/2 75lbs

With no power until 20 MPH, did compression check to find....
Right bank / side all 3 at 175 lbs. (Plugs stark White).
Left bank / side all at 75 lbs. (Plugs all black).

Would "Liquid Head Gasket Repair" be a viable option ?

Thanks for your time & response ( :

I would not reccomend a cheap liquid fixer. If you want the truck to be reliable and not leave you stranded you will need to figure out what the cause is and fix it properly.

dont do anything yet. i have see this before. if one entire bank has matching compression. i bet you have jumped timing. pull the covers off and check. may be time to just replace the belt while your at it

yup my bet is the timing belt has skipped a tooth or two. as toyotech said, pull the covers and check, and mostly likely just replace it while your at it.
