Re: Blowing Exhaust Sound - Low Compression

Dave-
        My guess would be a blown head gasket (between 2 & 3)
I would look for an oil slick at the radiator filler or a mayonnaise type
stuff on the oil filler cap.  Sometimes neither of these conditions will
exist and the compression leakage will go back and forth between
cylinders.  The head needs to come off to be sure.  The longer you run it
like it is, the more likely you can damage something permanently.
