Oil Pressure and overheating problem...

Re: Oil Pressure and overheating problem...

In your first picture is that foam in the oil?

So that's actually why i posted it. To me the oil looks a normal color however there are sets of tiny bubbles on top when i drained it into the container. I am not sure however that there is enough bubbles to warrant a blown head gasket or if that tiny existence of bubbles is just from the oil plopping and stirring when draining into the container.

I am trying to do a compression test as we speak however I cant seem to find the spark plugs...

I can see one or two but the others are hidden and seem to be quite unreachable. Is there anything i am missing that makes it easy to get to the spark plugs?

passenger back is a little hard to get to and the driver side 2nd one is. other 4 should be easy, take no longer than 10-15 minutes to do the 4 and maybe 30 if you don't have the right tools for the harder 2.

For the life of my i cannot get the second one on the passenger side...
I cant see to get the socket on so i do it by feel then i cant get the ratchet hooked into the socket. If i try both at once the ratchet gets hung up....

Not too happy right now just wasted a good 45 minutes on the one and final spark plug...

Middle one on the passenger side has to be done from the top with u joints. It's really really really really really horrible, but do-able after a lot of swearing and crying.

That's about what my AC Delco's looked like when I pulled em. They're not bad plugs or anything, but I went for the NGK's. Glad you got em out though! Good luck with the compression test!

Ya so It was way too dark to get that comp test done... I got one cylinder done and it read 185 psi... I know it means nothing without the others but i was wondering what the range should be(only spec i could find was 100 psi minimum)... Also it steadily increased so I guess that one's good...
