I ran the leak down test last night. #3 cylinder has a blown head gasket. Coolant came puking out in a hurry. Since all cylinders checked out w/ good compression, I'm going to yank the motor and do both heads and a clean up. I'll inspect the pistons, heads, and cylinders, maybe do a re-ring and hone, but I'm happy with the compression results, maybe I should leave them alone. Heads are both AMC, so I'm guessing they have been replaced - oem should have been VW. Both drain plugs in the heads were clean and came out easily, so it doesn't seem that the heads have seen a lot of time on the road. jamie
