    When I get someone here to help me, I'm going to do the leak down test and post the outcome.

    temp gauge stuck on H

    I was wondering how could I fix the temp gauge and also noticed that when I did have truck running for 3 to 5 minutes that the coolant doesn't move and top hose from radiator to intake didn't get hot.

    I wasn't thinking about the valves being open.

    97 expo dont run right

    Ok, I tested number 1, 2, and 3. Number 1 and 3 sounds like its coming from oil filler but not much and when I unhook the air its got a lot of air built up like its not leaking and when I unhook number 3, no air comes out so its leaking in motor and that's the one that's letting air come out...

    Number 2 air coming out tb without being on tdc. I'm just putting air in without trying to put on tdc because it moves anyway and I have no one to help me. So what could it be? How can I tell if its a valve or head gasket?

    I just did number 1 had no way of keeping motor from turning so I let it turn and kept air going in and hear it coming out the oil filler neck.

    Yeah, I remember you saying I could use that, but I didn't know about how much air. I guess I'll try this out and see what happens. Thanks

    Do I need the leak down tester kit with a gauge or can I just use the compressor and the hose part of the compression kit that screws in the spark plug hole and how much air can I or do I need?

    How would I know if I got each one to TDC? What if I do number 1 and I hear air coming out somewhere, do I finish by checking others? Thanks

    I did a wet one on pass side but don't know if I use the right amount of oil but it didn't go up much. How much do I use, cap full or more?

    motor swap or head gasket change

    I think I might have a blown head gasket or something in my 97 expedition and was wondering if I should change the gaskets and how hard is it to do so or change the whole motor and how hard is it to do that? What all do I need to do and how?

    Ok, I only did the compression test on the first 3 on pass side and first 2 on driver side. The 3 on pass side were low... 75, 74, 75. Driver side front 2 were 160 and 175. What could it be with that and plugs staying wet with gas, head gasket? What should I do next and can someone give me step...

    Ok I took a plug out of each side and on pass side its wet and smells like gas and driver side dry and kinda black so I know its burning/firing on that side. I don't have any clue what it could be but maybe bad rings, valves, or blown head gasket. What do you think?
