Default Is it fooked

Did a compression test and cylinder 2 had about half the compression of the other 3. hmm...

is it piston rings? head gasket? knackered valve seat?
off with his head!

first, battery out, bonnet off and rocker removed



coolant drained (eww). and the coolant system flushed through


inlet manifold off and the top row of exhaust manifold bolts undone. decided to leave the bottom row until the head was off


head off, after some "persuasion. lots of lovely carbon


and after the first "round" of crap removal


an evening or 2's work required on cleaning the underside of the head and valves i reckon


the head gasket's seen better days
