Check for hydrocarbons in the coolant. You can get a test kit at most auto parts stores. .

cyl 4 - 172psi
cyl 5 - 179psi
cyl 6 - 185psi

as you can see those are excellent numbers, I think ive determined its not my head gasket, what do you guys think?

Chooch----If I were to graph those 6 points then cylinder #4 would be out of the average range. Just a guess but I would like to bet that #4 has coolant going into it. If the plug is clean then that is the case.

If that is the case then next question is how is the water getting in there. HG is the obvious one.....also, a pinhole in the aluminum intake could cause it. I would think a pinhole would cause all 6 cylinders to be clean.

Yay fun! Whats your plan hg's or 3.4? I thought about a 3.4 when mine went but 3.4's seem to be hard to find in B.C.

though i did see yesterday on B.C. 4x4 somebody selling a full 3.4 swap but i never looked into it so not sure what he actually has. Doing HG's isnt really that hard either. I think i got my hg's and gasket set for like 200 bucks or somthing? Then 6 cans of brake clean and many differnt oils later i had no leaks!
