Re: Neon Compression test results, your diagnosis please????

I got it off.

Timing is dead on perfect, in fact the belt looks like its been changed in the past.

I began pulling the head off to see if the head gasket blew or if the head is cracked or if it has lower end issues.

Couple questions though.

What is that sensor in the lower battery tray? I started to take the tray out, I thought it was a nut holding the battery in and I spun nut around and ended up snapping the wires. No big deal but it looks to me like some sort of temperature sensor.

And if anyone has any pointers on getting some broken EGR valve bolts out. I'll probably soak it for a few days and try a vice grips. Or a little heat.

Also when the time comes I'll need some torque specs on the head bolts.

Thanks!!!
