Re: 1990 Cressida no compression

I got the head off last night and it is definitely a broken head gasket between cylinders 1 & 2. It looks like it has been this way for a long time. I am going to take the head into a shop and get it checked. My concern now is for the injectors. The injectors for cylinders 1 & 2 have carbon build up on them and the ports are clogged with carbon. I don't know if they can be cleaned by hand, I figure it is safer to just replace them. The wiring for the injectors seems to be old and brittle. I found a break in the insulation of the wires for the first injector. The copper wiring has some green corrosion in it. I may need to patch some of the wiring. This will give me some practice with my new sodering iron.

Thanks for the input.
