                Took the head off this weekend. Don't see anything wrong with the Pistons or head, for the compression loss. I'll clean it up just to make sure. So I'm hoping for just a blown head gasket. I can see were it was blowing past the gasket. I'll check the head for flatness. If it looks good I'll slap it back together.

                  How do you rate the difficulty level of the job...3 or 5 wrenches?

                      I thought it was fairly straight forward, everything was easy to get to. No bolts that were awkward to get to. I was expecting it to be more difficult, cause the bay looked crowded.
