RedLance Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 Well, I found out why my XT has been running hot, and not idleing very well. Seems I have only 10psi of compression on the #2 cylinder. All the other cylinder's are fine. So...now I get to yank the engine again, and find out what happened. I'm guessing that the new head gasket either got damaged when I was reassembling, or it was defective when I bought it. Coolant leaks out of the driver's side from somewhere too, which is why I suspect the gasket...although I suppose the head could be cracked. Anyway, should I document this? I have both a digital camera and a video camera. Would anybody be interested is seeing how this is done? Let me know. RedLance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedLance Posted September 3, 2003 Author Share Posted September 3, 2003 Well, last time I did it, I took 3 years...I'm not doing that this time. I hope to have it done in a weekend. No reason I can't, unless it's a crack in the head. I'll charge up the extra capacity battery for the digital camera, and have at it then.
