2006 LAND ROVER LR3 V8 PROJECT (PART 5) "Compression Test Time"

Our attempts at flushing the cooling system ran into multiple problems, both front and rear heater cores are plugged, the radiator was plugged, but we managed to get some water to flow through it. The LR3 still continued to overheat with no thermostat while we were trying to flush the system. Then we sprung a coolant leak from the lower thermostat housing which is known to crack and leak. It looks like we're going to have to replace both heater cores, the radiator, the lower thermostat housing. But before we spend more money we decide to do a compression test on the engine to make sure there isn't a cylinder head or gasket issue. Although cylinder 2 was lower than the rest, we feel it is good enough to continue with the repairs.
