Re: Head Gasket
Actually this doesn't sound like a head gasket. The oil would do nothing to change compression if the gasket were bad. This sounds like the piston rings are worn and not properly sealing. The fact that the compression increased indicates this. If it were a head gasket or burnt valve the compression would have stayed the same. Removing the head is involved because you need to remove a lot of accessory components. If this is a 2.4 or 2.3 if you are not mechanically inclined then you may not want to tackle it yourself due to the problem with setting the timing.
