The valves are adjusted, and the thermostat is new.
Water pump and radiator are not, but I have a new radiator that I will install in this car.
I applied 120 pounds of air pressure to each cylinder with the rocker arms removed, and there was a pressure build up at the muffler and at the turbo inlet.
What else can that be then leaking valves, and what other way is there to fix them then to remove the head?
The car was sitting at the previous owner since 2009.
I did run the engine for about 20 minutes.
