coolant in oil
 
well after much research and testing - cylinder #5 is NOT cracked
i blew yet another head gasket - i have coolant in my oil due to the fact that my engine kept overheating in main part to the cooling fan not working which in turn was caused by a defective thermostat sensor- but i got an epic fail part that almost cost me my newly rebuilt engine -cyl pressure test #'s1 thru 5 are ::

1=190, 2=190, 3=191, 4=190, 5=185==== tested by a mechanic friend that rebuilds only volvos
he asked who did the work and i told him i did it - but he doesnt believe me so i broke out the photos - he has since offered me a job lol
i turned it down - i dont want to work for a friend
now i have to order yet another head gasket and new head bolts boohooo head bolts are so expensive when you are poor lol

Dude, thats some great compression for a turbo engine...top of the heap.

Is your head warped? Mine was like a rainbow arch after I overheated.
