Bought a V8 Stype about a year ago thinking it was a easy spark plug fix but it wasn't. After vacuum, compression, and leak down test I had concluded that a new engine was needed due to low compression on all cylinders cause by bad rings and probable rod knock. So it sat there for a yr and a buddy came by and looked at and said it's prob head gasket. I didn't think so because there was no coolant mixing. So I pressurized the tank and at 5 psi fluid came gushing down the back of the engine and will no longer hold pressure. So I think it might say it's safe to say it was the heads are bad. So the question is do I fix it or scrap it?
