Mach:

1. Coolant was drained.
2. Compression test was performed after I found out about the trouble these motors had. The numbers were around 375 psi for all of them except one (dont remember which one maybe #3 or #4) was about 345psi.
3. Engine had been running but they stopped the vehicle because the belt came off. Helped install the belt and she ran fine.

After I found coolant in reservoir that is when the thoughts ran through my mind. I began researching and ended up doing a compression test to identify an issue. I braced myself for a new motor after reading all the stories/hear say on this motor. Since the compression came back within a decent range for the age, I was happy to be a lucky one... maybe too early a celebration!
