Well, thanks for all the great info, and troubleshooting tips. I have some investigating to do, so i can figure out what is wrong.
Feel free to keep the input coming, and will post my test results as i do them. hope it is not the block that is the problem. I will take a compression test of each cyl, and do a cyl leak down test on each one. will try and do a block pressure test, inspect the intake more closely, and I for got what else at this point
