blown gasket 200 1980

posted by  someone claiming to be chris thomas on  Fri May 25 17:00 CST 2001 [RELATED]

I just aquired a decent 1980 240dl. From what I gather it started to loose coolant 6 months ago and then it was parked. I added coolant and fired it up. The coolant is now flowing very well out of the number 3 spark plug hole. Cold compresson is 130, 130, 50, and 130. I will operate on the engine tomorrow. I hope it is a blown gasket between a water jacket and the cylinder. Any pointers.
