Well I think I completed the compression test. I am not sure that I was doing it correctly. It was quite difficult to get the tester threaded in tightly with the small area the spark plugs go into. If the cylinders were numbered 1-4 from left to right while standing in front of the car looking at the engine then I got:
1=~170
2=~160
3=~180
4=0
None of them were even close to the 200+ recommended, though 3 were above the 156 minimum. I noticed while I was under the car that the oil pan seal is leaking all the way across. Since it is obvious I should replace the gasket, is there anything else I should do while I have it pulled apart? I have never tackled a project quite this serious. New gasket and some sealant, anything else that I need to buy for this?
