I have 0 compression on #3... and oil all over the back of the engine. No oil out the exhaust? I guess I have a hole in my block, or one really busted up headgasket. I guess I could have a hole in the block but the car isnt that noisy.

I'm going to try and fill #3 with air to see where the air leaks out at...

You were told to flip it, dude.

Sinner

I hear you.. The first WOT pull it broke so It did not even make it long enough to flip it.

Nirgopolis

WOT pull = not for preflip action.

leak down test says everything is leaking out the intake. Any VW people have a guess? bent valve ? Its a sticking automatic so its not like I over reved it. Maybe I sucked up a something?

My guess is bent valves. Seems to be common with those ------- things.

especially if the timing belt skipped a tooth or 4 (it happens).

GhostOfDr.Boost

Same ---- happened to a good friend of mine. Bent some valves, put a used head on as a replacement and it skipped a tooth(or 4) within a few seconds of start-up and chances are it bent some valves in the new(used)head. :1 He sold the piece of ---- so we don't know exactly what happened, but chances are it needs some new valves....again.
