Or rather lack of compression numbers.

Finally had a chance to do a little fiddling. Got a new hose put the car back together, coolant in. Still have a couple drips from somewhere between the turbo and lines to the oil cooler, hidden up there. Oh well, moving on to checking compression.

Stone cold sitting for two weeks:

Cylinder / Cold psi / With oil psi
1 / 45 / 70
2 / 0 / 5
3 / 0 / 8
4 / 5 / 40
5 / 75 / 140

Lovely. 2, 3 and 4 were wet with coolant. 1 and 5 still had some carbon on the plugs.

I'm wondering if it's even worth pulling the head. I'm willing to do a head gasket and even spring for a new turbo, but probably not a replacement head or engine.

Who out there needs a donor for an M66 manual trans swap?
