Re: HEAD GASKET ???

Bennett.... Poor compression on one or more cylinders could be contributed to a blown, faulty head gasket. You could also have water entering the cylinder.<br /><br />The engine has one heat sensor, located in the cylinder head. Look for a TAN wire protruding out of the head.... that's it.

Is the heat sensor the one priced at roughly 45.00. How can I tell if it is working correctly.<br /><br />Compression is 117, 117, 116

Bennett,<br /><br />Gound the tan wire that goes to the sensor.<br /><br />Also, look at your spark plugs. They should all look the same. If one looks real clean, you are ingesting water.
