Re:**READ ME!!!***compression test results... opinions needed
if you are leaking antifreeze into the combustion chamber then typically you can smell it burning thru a free flowing exhaust system.. yet another reason I'm all against emissions.
Dump the cat (which u should have done long before now) and smell the exhaust.. with the cat in place you won't really notice a faint burning coolant smell.

anyhow cylinders 1,3,4 are 210psi and number 2 wont go higher than 190. the car is over heating on ling drives or in traffic. i changed the thermostat put new water and coolant and it still does the same thing. u guys think that much of a difference means its the head gasket? car doesnt smoke at all. she says she has to add water almost weekly. could it be the water pump? i havent noticed any leakage either around the waterpump weep hole either. help!

im thinking it might be sometihng serioououius though because i let the car run today for abut 15minutes and there as small drips on the tip of the exhaust
its just a tough call to say its condensation or a fucked gasket.
