    Front head removed and even before lifting it, I knew something was not right

    As I already knew about the head gasket issue, didn’t want to
    warm the engine up in preparation for the compression check and obviously,
    no test driving session.




    Instead, decided to carry out cold leakdown test.

    The engine is cold and it was parked nearly two weeks now so
