Compression test reviled from left to right 145,135,130,135. also there was no oil on the spark plugs, im no longer thinking this is a head gasket, what else could it be?? im missing coolant and oil.
I'll be outside all day trying to figure this out so if anyone has any suggestions please call or text either myself or slowy

so we rented a radiator pressure tester and none of the adapters fits onto the neck of the thermostat housing so thats a problem.

Another wild theory, I think the crush washers on the turbo have been re-used by the previous owner of the car because I have had the oil line to the turbo leak before. judging by the spray patterns on the hoses, battery.... it looks like maybe the oil and water could be spraying from the turbo and the fan is blowing it all back over the motor. there is no water in the oil, the spark plugs show to signs either. the compression was reasonable. and on top of that where the head meets the block it looks fairly dry. the only place we see water mixed with oil is where is pools on the tranny. any suggestions? I'll see if I can get pictures posted of the damage.

 

Sorry I didnt get back with you yet, I ended up going to Prana last night with Aaron and Jake, so I just recently woke up, but have you tried leak down test...

Or put more oil in it and run it and maybe youd be able to visually see were its coming from?

The onlyplace I know oil and coolant to mix is headgasket issue.
Bad bottom end wouldnt leak fluid anywere unless there was a hole in the block or something weird like that. Compression sounds reasonable, and I have a feeling that you didnt do a warm compression test after the engine was already hot, and if so then the compression test would naturally show up lower.
Your compression is probably much higher if the engine was just ran for a while, and also if there wasnt any head problems.

Id just go with APRs and stock headgasket like I said over the phone last night.
If S& R can get the ARPS over night thats great, heres there number - 1813-961-0609

And heres Drews number, maybe he can tell you something about the timing belt situation, I dont have a clue what you can do with that as I hate timing belt jobs as much as you - 17276788020

 

i think i have a set of used arp's.

 

There you go.Arp's dont stretch so they are reusable unlike bolts.

 

ive heard of people reusing arp's 3-4 times, the ones i have ive only used them 1 time.

with that said i want $25 for them. come get'em.

 

I'll take'm, pm me your number, the sooner I can come get them the better.

 

^ pmed.

 

I have the special timing belt tool, the prongs are a little bent but it works, if you want you can borrow it. I havent used it the past 2 times Ive put the belt on, and the more I talk to people the less I hear people use it.

 

How do I know if I set the pre-tension on the belt correctly before pulling the pin on the hydrolic tensioner?
