Do you know which cylinders?
Head gasket blown between the 2?

Worn cam loabs will effect compression and emissions and a known problem.
This highlights why we went down the rebuild route with MrGorsky. We knew the history of his and we figured better to fix the known issues with his rather than risk a second-hamd lump that may have issues of its own in waiting. We hope his will be good for at least another 100k now and seeing as we had the engine out he's done all the other jobs like brake lines and ball-joints.
That reminds me, it is all waiting to go back in when he returns from holiday. Just need to hire an engine crane. The engine, gearbox and transfer box is all reassembled and bolted together waiting to be dropped in! I'm keen to know what the new cam will feel like. He's gone for a higher torque one at lower revs, I think.

Any bubbles in the coolant tank with the engine running? That's another sign of head gasket failure. Doesn't always occur. Depends on where the break is.
