Then today I pulled all the plugs and checked
the compression. 5 cylinders at 120, #5 at 100 and 6 and 8 at zero. I
reinstalled the plugs one at a time in 6 and 8 and still no compression.
The #6 plug was fouled (wet and black) when I changed the plugs in CA
about
1200 miles ago. The new plug is still wet and black. Looks oily. We
feel
that the head gasket must be blown between the two cylinders.
Walter,
It could be a number of things. A quick check is to remove the valve
cover on the pass. side and check to see if the valves are opening and
closing. This is a good way to locate stuck valves, bent pushrods etc.
HTH,
