    How long ago on the rebuild? You sure the left bank was done? Last time a decarb was done? Numbers don't equal a refresh motor.

    Only way to tell what is inside is to pull the heads and see what part numbers are on the pistons and which way they are facing. I wouldn't imagine a almost 30 psi drop in compression unless you have a bad head gasket on that side or the head hasn't been re-torqued. You may want to re-torque the head and re-test first. 18-20 FT-lbs on the head bolts follow the pattern stamped on the head start in the middle.
