help .. think head gasket is gone

[sidewaysreilly]

so about 121-142 psi ? Seems low . Did you remove all the plugs when doing it? Was the engine hot or cold??? Did you check again using oil to rule out ring/liner wear???

[shaneh]

no i took out 1 plug at a time and had the car jumped from another car so it got full swing.
engine was warm little under half heat i think.
how do you mean using oil exactly?

[sidewaysreilly]

Nah, engine should be at normal temp with all plugs out. Check readings .Check again with a half a tea spoon of oil poured into each cylinder.Compare readings.

Be sure to unplug coil packs as they can burn out with ignition switched on for too long.........and certainly with no plugs firing.
