Hi ALL!!- I've bought a 87 w/ 6.9 IDI. This truck is going to teach me a LOT! It has a serious miss, slightly worse when warmed up. no apparent water in the oil (I changed it IMMEDIATELY) and vice versa. no coolant blowing out of the system. I'm thinking maybe it's a head gasket - maybe stretched bolts, I've read that this is a common problemI want to run a compression test, but can't find an adapter for my gauge. Can anyone tell me where I can find one?
On another subject- I need to find a REALLY GOOD service/ repair manual ( OR SET thereof) to study, but neither parts stores or manual writers seem to have anything comprehensive. ANY suggestions, anyone?
