    if there are no external leaks, I agree with the 2 above me. Piston rings.

    Pretty sure the rings are shot. A leak down will prove it.

    Damn, anyone want it then? I dont have the funds to cover it, since I JUST got into college. I'll trade for a basic car. Or sell for a decent price for someone else to rebuild.

    I kno, just after I thought I finished everything. I did all this for college and now I'm broke and outta time. If I cant get it fixed by Friday night, then... I'll just hopefully make it to Ohio and trade it in or sell it for cheap and just take out a loan and buy something.

    I really had high hopes for my EF

    Its not a coolant leak though. I check my coolant everyday to make sure. There is not oil in the coolant either.

    A leak down, no. That will just tell you the percentage of leakage in the testing cylinder. Now, if you put compressed air in the cylinder with the valves closed, you can then determine if the leak is on the head side, or the piston side.
