[alberg30] No compression in 1 and 2

Jack,

Couldn't it also be a head gasket?  Even if you've got no water in
the cylinders, you could have leakage in the compression cycle.
There's an atomic 4 mailing list on SailNet
(http://www.sailnet.com/list/atomic4/index.cfm).  You might want
to join that and ask there.
