Re: Project Lex

Well a HG can fail in several different ways, and at several levels of severity. Depending on how it failed, a comp test may or may not show anything. I have a compression tester, so why not just spend 30 minutes to see if it showed anything. If anything, I think the results tell me there isn't a massive HG failure between two cylinders, or anything like that. And also tells me in general this motor still has healthy compression as those numbers I feel are excellent, so that's nice.

Next on my list are:
- Use brownman's coolant pressure tester to see if I can spot any coolant system leaks and fix any we find.
- Drain oil and coolant and see if it looks good or if there is any signs of mixing. If all looks good then just refill.
- Troubleshoot and fix radiator fans.
- Get wheels repaired, re-finished, and buy some new tires for all 4 wheels.
- Inspect under the car in general to see if I messed anything else up.
