Hi Folks;
I've been trying to get my '95 with a rebuilt '94 to idle properly for some time now with lots of help from the forum. Just to update, I took the entire S/C assembly, except the top cover, apart to make sure there was nothing stuck in there. Everything appears normal (and cleaner now!). Next I removed all the injectors and had them rebuilt. Flow rates were low (33, now at 87).
Before reassembly, with new gaskets, I did a compression check.
Cylinders, 1,2,3: 150, 150, 148, respectively. However, cylinders 4, 5, 6, all gave a max of 120-125, but wouldn't hold pressure.
I am just posting to see if this is a definite sign of head gasket failure.
Nothing unusual about any of the fluids (oil, and antifreeze), no unusual smoke, just the terrible idle syndrome.
Also, as I'm about to take the heads off, (after rad drain of course) is there anyway to get antifreeze out of the block?, this is one fluid I always seem to have leaking everywhere when I pull motor components off.
Thanks for your help, a little discouraged but still having fun!
