Ok guys, I need your take on this problem. I am assuming it's a head gasket or cracked head, but here's what I have
Steam out exhaust after warm up (lotsa!)
cooling system won't make pressure
The thing that's getting me is I checked compression, and they are all semi OK at 135-145lbs. Every other bad head gasket I've ever seen has bad compression at least in 1 cyl..The thing runs pretty good, I checked plugs and they are all identical tan.. Motor has a gazilion miles and has not been taken care of so anythings possible.
Is there anything I could be overlooking here before I tear it down?
Thanks, mike
