H_D Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 those compression test figures do not sound good - probably head gasket failure.The water noise it probably a dodgy matrix or water pump Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Agree gasket gone between 2 and 3. Air in system or pump maybe the water sound but you maybe aswell do the pump whilst the HG's being done anyway Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bili Posted June 29, 2015 Author Share Posted June 29, 2015 Thanks for getting back and how easy to do the head do I have to skim it even thou it did not overheat because the head is non interference I'll get the water pump done and belt at the same time Quote Link to post Share on other sites
H_D Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Always get the head checked by an engineer and let them decide if it needs to be skimmed/resurfaced.Change the water pump and get a new timing belt kit too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
