Compression test on hot engine
Wouldn't a compression test on a hot engine show if a head or head gasket was cracked?
If you pulled all 6 plugs I would think having good compression across all cylinders would be a pretty certain sign of no head crack or faulty head gasket.
Would you have to open the coolant cap (carefully HOT) to remove pressure there as well to test properly?
