Hey gents, anyone have any good intel on where I can get a compression test done on the cruiser in the South Sound area?

I'm not too sure I want to go to a normal mechanic.

The engine is the 1HZ I6 diesel. I know Tor is up in Mukilteo, but that's a 90 minute drive through Seattle and I'm just looking for some numbers so I can make a decision.

Ideas and experiences are welcome.

Any ideas? It's looking like I might have a cracked HG that's leaking a bit more oil than I'm comfortable with out of the back of the engine.

I don't want to pull the trigger on a HG job without a compression test :(


Pretty sure the source of the leak is here (firewall on the left, rear of engine on the right, top of bell housing under all the oil)

Eh, even more certain I've traced the leak to a small crack in the HG.

While running, there is a very small ooze from this area. :frown:
