Re: [Chrysler300] Water + Oil = Doomed!

Did you read the plugs as they came out? Look for one with deposits on the electrode, indicating a leak.
You could be leaking coolant under a head gasket under pressure, and still have good compression.
The heads at least need a freshening, there is a 25# difference across the readings. No big deal, but since your doing something.....

Verdict is not good.
I pulled the spark plugs and conducted a compression test.
The readings are as follows...which lead me to believe it the block itself:
DRIVERS SIDE
No. 1 = 175 pounds
No. 3 = 160 pounds
No. 5 = 160 pounds
No. 7 = 165 pounds
PASSENGER SIDE
No. 2 = 150 pounds
No. 4 = 172 pounds
No. 6 = 163 pounds
No. 8 = 165 pounds

Time to pull ye old block.
Oh the joy!
