Perhaps I spoke too soon....

Well, guys and gals, I may have spoken too soon when I said the problems w/ my Quad4 GA were solved. All that work, and there is water in the oil again, and the other day when it rained, it started missing when cold again.
I've been told to try tracking a bad wire or vacuum line with water to pinpoint the cause of the miss, and I'm going to try that..............I don't think these 2 things are related.
But the other just may be the dreaded H-word. Still not symptomatic except for the oil/water thing, but I'm going to do a compression test this weekend.

Does anyone know what the proper compression reading should be for a 1994 2.3L non-H.O.Quad with 68-69,000 miles?

Thanks, and wish me luck....

I'm sorry but I couldn't find the compression numbers but you should have at least 100 psi on all cylinders. This sounds like a leaking head gasket or cracked block especially if you have water getting into the oil. I hope I am wrong but that's what it appears to be. Good Luck!!!

My V6 had this problem a couple months back, replaced the LI gasket 3 times! My compression tests all came up 100-110psi on every cylinder. Ended up being the Head Gaskets, just a little tiny spot blowing coolant into the oil.
So good luck automan9482, and hope its the gasket and not a C****.
