Im thinking burnt valve maybe? i mean the compression on one cylinder is only 40, the rest are 150 give +/- 5

Honey I stopped reading about the point you where taking your car to a second shop. Doll as my daddy always told me.... Your Oils milky and your coolants dark... your engines shot... As my Auntie Carolyn would say SUE that sh*ty a** wanna Be "Machanic" for screw up your engine! If the engine was fine before you put it in chances are you have a case. Get your Money and your car fixed.

Well good yet bad news, i just talked to the second mechanic, good and bad news, bad that theres definately a blown head gasket, but good that it was directly behind the cylinder so its just blowing compression out the back no coolant in the oil anywhere. So its gonna be about a $900 bill and im working on getting the other shop to pay for it. Anyone know how much like a 3-angle valve job costs or how much it would cost to get some headwork done?

Call me a liar...but when i was looking into it...a rebuild ran at least 500...depending on how bad they were...thats 1000 bucks for both.....can anyone say used motor? If u can find a good one.

Well it all depends on who you go to and what you have done.
