We all learn from questions and answers that solve problems

anyhow…. have you pulled the head gasket yet ?? but it is odd that compression #s are still so high if it is a leaky gasket

Thanks, I totally read that wrong! I assumed rules changed. I hope I wasnt taken as rude or anything

I pulled the head. grey oily residue in all three. Gasket looked ok.

I got snared trying to take the exhaust manifold plate off. Stopped at the powerhead removal. See my next reply to fleetwin
