Car is running great, still chirps a little, but no problems. 1.8 L w/ L-jet took off the heads and cleaned them up. New stock mm pistons and cylenders. New head gaskets, intake gaskets runner boots all fuel lines replaced all vacume hose replaced. Fuel injectors cleaned (cruzin) new fuel filter air filtre, new plugs and wires. Pertronix.Set valves ETC. ETC.

so 4 weeks later (today) I do a compression test. Car was warmed up, battery fully charged, pulled all plugs and held down gas pedal.....

1. 90
2. 110
3. 100
4. 120

I checked 2 times (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Head gasket.

Chirping is a dead give away, disconect the ignition crank away (cold) and listen for a whistle/squeaking noise from the lean cylinder.

damn I totally missed that!! that was the dead giveaway on mine too, every cylinder was leaking because the cylinder didn't fit into the head squarely... on mine the heads were not cut straight
