Hi all,
Happy new year! It took me while to find the time to work on the leak.
I run a compression test and readings were as follows:
C1: 135
C2: 125
C3: 148
C4: 150
I assume that the head gasket could be blown between cylinders 1 and 2. I already bought the parts from Rockauto. I was looking at the procedure on how to change a head gasket in the Haynes manual. It says I need to do the following:
- Drain the cooling system (already drained) and remove the spark plugs
- Remove intake manifold brace and exhaust manifold flange bolts
- Remove the distributor
- Remove the timing belt and the camshaft
- Then, loosen the head bolts, etc.
Would appreciate any suggestions on whether this makes sense.
Thanks and best wishes,
MP
