Of all of those, i'd say sticky valve although im not sure if that applies, Do we have hydraulic lifters????? Normal valves????? cant remember on the 3.2?

The con rod would have made a mess inside and the hole in the piston would surely blow crap out the spark plug hole when opened wouldn't it?


I take it knackered piston rings wouldn't give a reading of '0' would they??

Looks like head off for a better look inside
