I am prepairing to replace the head gasket due to gas feeding into the coolant. I have been able to locate the problem in cylinder 3 by doing a compression test and at the same time looking at the coolant level. Only on 3 the coolant level changed and bubbled.
Can I do a compression test without mounting the camshaft? Leaving the plugs out, the belts off. I want to test the new head gasket before I mount the valve head etc. I know, the real test is driving the car. But this might give an indication if the initial repair succeeds. What is your opinion?
