i was on my way to work , just cruizin along, exept on ramp i gaver the pedel got to 120 and started lettin off, next on ramp took it slow cuz i thought a plug was going bad ir boost leak? it had a slight miss :(, so change plugs coils? :mad: then compression test ....nothin #1, 60psi #2....


i hope headgasket, it maybe a valve (doubtful), i lean away from rings or piston cus it makes no knoking noise , just a bad exhaust leak sound!

has any1 ever fried a multi layer steel head gasket???

22 psi may have helped this :D

Well Im doubtful a properly installed multi layer would let go like that. I am however confident that popping the head off will reveal the problem. If we were going to place bets... I guess I would vote for the head gasket w/ a bad install? Whats the age of that head gasket?

Do a leak down test. That will tell you everything. Sorry to hear that, right when spring starts too.....
