I have compression issues with #1 and 2 cylinders--both fail to hold compression. #3 and 4 are fine.
Initial diagnosis says there is a blown head gasket between those two.
Has anyone been successful in removing the front timing cover without removing the engine. History from the "water leak" issue I had earlier says the vacuum pump shaft is too long to get the cover off, even with the radiator out.
Any comments, suggestions welcome, otherwise I need to lift the engine out--bummer.
Thanks
Gary
