This is the first time this has happened. I tried to start it Friday, Saturday, Sunday and this morning, with temperatures ranging from 50 to 75 degrees, sunshine and clouds. Same result each time. However, the problem happened after the vehicle sat overnight.
Well, the question that is now apparent is:

"Will the coolant drain down through the ring gaps"?

I would tend to think so.........but, others might have a different opinion?


Time to go back to the manual rotation of the crankshaft with a socket wrench. If there is coolant in the cylinder.......you won't be able to turn it a full turn.
