It can't have anything to do with the VC gasket. It's gotta be rings or valve seals or something internal.
Above the threads:
I don't know about D-engines, but some (F-engines?) have another seal farther down in the spark plug tube. Sorta like the cam cap itself is part of the tube, and there's an o-ring between the cam cap & the head itself. Is yours like that??
Compression test:
Warmed-up engine, all plugs removed, spark & fuel disabled, wide-open throttle. Crank enough times for the pressure to get as high as it gets & stops climbing. I guess that's usually 6 or 7 times.
To tell you the truth it looks like there is some oil on both top and bottom. I cant really figure out thou. I am going to check at the moment, and i will be back with an update.How could i disable the fuel from being injected?..Should i just unplug the fuel injectors? I think it may be my valve seals. But when i am driving i can hear *clacking* and im not to sure if its my valves that may be needing adjustments.. or maybe my cam...but i still cant rule out my valve seals yet.
