Re: any one broken a piston or blown a head gasket (spoolin342)
you can tell if its the head gasket because you will see the coolant bubble when you take the cap of the radiator(if its only a bad compression test on one cyl) sounds more like broken ring lands to me. is there any smoke from the breather?
