Re: [Chrysler300] Water + Oil = Doomed!

[Matt Allyn <allynentertainment@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have 50k on the motor.
I am getting ready to rebuild the entire front end, rear leafs and do the paint and chrome.
I guess pulling the motor and stripping the engine compartment is the better way to go.

Don't go so fast.  One thing to do is to squirt oil in the
cylinders, particularly No.2 and see if the compression comes up. 
If it does, that would possibly indicate bad ring seal.  If no
change, it  might indicate bad valve seal or head gasket seal. 
The latter two can be remedied without pulling the engine.

25 lb. differential between highest and lowest cylinders is not
acceptable in a new rebuild, but if the car is not burning excessive oil
you could run with that amount of difference for many years and never
know or feel it.

I would take it one step at a time and not be in a hurry to pull the
engine before it is indicated unless that is just something you want to
do or want to rebuild it.
