Re: [Chrysler300] Water + Oil = Doomed!

[Bill Huff <czbill@xxxxxxxxxx>]

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.
