High compression??? 200 1987

Lets just say I have been "Down Like A Mullah Fuqua". And other equally cute names. Now that you know who I've been, you might remember that after $11,000 in wholesale parts across 2.5 years of ownership, and 3 engine blow ups.... that I finally cut my losses and dumped that piece of crap a few nights ago. I now own a Toyota Avalon XL.

I'd say you have not much to lose by doing a spritz of water into a hot idling engine, except maybe accelerating the pending blow out of your head gasket.

Can you look down the spark plug holes with a bright light and see the condition of the piston crowns?
