I posted the question about the ECT sensor/sending unit yesterday.

To add to the my saga (nightmare):

I bench tested my old ECT vs. the new one. The ohms readings were almost identical. I tried to start it tonight and it sounded strange cranking. Pulled the cover and found

Cyl 1 70 psi
cyl 2 130
Cyl 3 90
Cyl 4 150
Cyl 5 140

How can I further determine if I have a blown head gasket. Almost certain the vehicle overheated with daughter driving it. No sign of water in oil or oil in coolant. No external leaks. Started it yesterday and it seem to run ok. Didn't drive it very far though.

Any ideas on the cost at in indy??

Thanks,
Hawk
