Compression test

 Since I got the Disco I have been suspecting head gasket issues, the good news is that is just external leak, but it will probably have to be done soon.

I did check compression today and cylinder #7 where the compression is lowest is where the leak is, it's not really bad yet, but for sure, I will do this before summer and/or any long trip. Best number is 172 and worse is 142, 30 difference. Not the end of the world, but certainly it's looking like I am doing the gaskets soon...

It's incredible what people would miss, but there was a whole rubber cap in the spark plug in #7, how can you miss that?

Anyway some pics:
