The spark plugs where covered in oil from a leaking valve cover gasket.
These are in order #1,2,3,4. Tip on #1 is browner than the others.
I do not have pictures of the actual test, but the results surprised me at: 215, 220, 205, and 230 psi COLD. I suspect these could be considered as WET from the oil leaks of the valve cover. Still really good compression so I do not think the head gasket is bad. (The seller said that was the problem.) I disconnected and plugged the coolant lines going to/from the intake and still got the steam out the tail pipe. There is a bigger problem inside the motor. I'll pull it and install the JDM motor from Kick 3... it has a bad transmission anyway.
The exhaust manifold is cracked in the typical place. (See small red arrow.)
Getting ready for the motor pull.
