On the wife's Avant that recently took a crap on us. Did the compression check yesterday (finally a nice day after TS Fay took her sweet time moving through Orlando).

The results were as expected.

3: 35psi 4: 180psi
2: 0psi 5: 45
1: 40psi 6: 40

So guess I'll start taking her apart in preparation for a head gasket job. Not gonna happen overnight as money is real tight right now.
