Update and Suggestions
The re-calibrated new pump is back in and the it idles fine. When its warm at speed it acts like it is running on 5 cylinders. When checked by cracking each line there is no change in the idle at the #5 cylinder. The Compression test was excellent but this was done when the engine was cold. I requested that they keep the car one more day, get it up to operating temperature and then do a compression test on cylinder #5.
At this point I don't know what else to do apart from start preparing the #17 head that I have in the event that the #5 has a crack in the head there.
There is no oil in the radiator and no coolant in the oil.
Ideas??
Is it safe to drive it like this till I prepare the new head? Or could there be further damage if I do drive it?
Thanks
Mark
