Bummer, 'nother dead enigine.

Yup, I beleave I lost the head gaskets. I cannot get her started: after noticing the spark pulses were not consistent, I swapped the ditsy to see if that was the case. Well, when I pulled the ditsy out, the oil looked more like a chocolate milk shake instead of oil. WONDERFUL! I then looked at the dipstick and same stuff: chocolate milkshake. Not as thick as the stuff at the ditsy, but it's there. Compression test time!

 

Cyl 1: just under 60

Cyl 3: 90

Cyl 2: about 60

Cyl 4: roughly 60 also

 

Now, the pressures used to be about 150psi all the way around. NASA, we have a problem. DRAT! :banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead:

Well, engine overheating is not under warranty. So, I'm going to rebuild it myself. From what I've been told, it's just the head gaskets that let go. So, I spent the day cleaning out the garage, so I have a place to rebuild the engine. Oh what fun!
