1994 Tracker won't start after checking compression
#20
I did use test fuel in the beginning, it ran at low rpm.

I removed the exhaust manifold and checked the compression on #1 which is still at 105psi. The exhaust ports were oily and #2 and #3 had some antifreeze drops. I checked the oil from the dip stick and it looked normal (no chocolate milk); however, oil is leaking towards the rear of the engine (see image).

   

Some additional information, the car has 167,000 miles on it, most likely was not well maintained. Someone also cutout the catalytic converter and welded in a straight piece of pipe.

I need to assemble the FPR test device and check the pressure. I am leaning towards two problems with the car. 1. Flooding 2. Head gasket leaking. I'll update the results from the FPR test.
