Just curious but have you changed the coolant in it?If so, how did it look?

If your intake is oily, I am guessing you are having an issue with too much pressure building up in the engine.

Your gas mileage seems perfectly fine.

Does smoke come out of the exhaust when you start it after the engine is cold? How about when you go over 5K RPM?

 

well... their isnt any smoke coming out of the exhaust at an idle... but i did see smoke when i got on it above 5k rpms today...

the coolant, doesnt seem to be dropping... but is almost a murky color... i didn't do a complete flush on it, and i dont know when it was changed prior. doesnt seem to be losing any, so i dont think its the head gasket.

 

Well, flush it completely and make sure. That's the first thing I would do.

 

so i did a dry compression test today....

1-155
2-150
3-125
4-158

 

Those are some bad numbers

 

yea... well the wet compression test yielded numbers all right around the same...

what kind of compression pressure should this motor have?

 

IDk for sure, but each cylinder should be with-in 5-10 of each other. If I had to take a guess about what each cylinder should be, it would be around 200 for a good number, but dont take my word for it

 

well, im wanting to run a leakdown test on it..

i know mac tools has a tester, does napa auto parts make one?
