Well. It's not a head gasket problem. Silly car is getting between 180-190 lbs of compression on all four cylinders. What I thought was blow by was in fact vacuum in the engine, so I'm still looking for a solution to this ongoing pain in my rear. I'll just keep posting things hear, talking to myself
, and hopefully someone is going to chime in at some point with a magical solution.
Also tested the fuel pressure. It holds steady at 19 lbs. Vacuum lines build presssure to about 20 lbs, and hold steady.
