ya i talked to my friend and his brother in law works at the smogging place, he said id have to take it to a referee station otherwise it wont pass. oh i did another compression test today with a brand new battery im getting: 110,90,95,115. before it i was getting 125, 80, 80, 95. very weird and each time i do a test there is more of that oil/coolant on the spark plug.

take the head off.... if you can grab a head gasket from ebay or anywhere else cheap...you'll atleast be able to check your valve seats.. see if they're all good..if you JUST take the entire head off it shouldn't be more then an afternoons work..

also you said oil/coolant.............what color is your oil????

ya me and my dad were talking bout it last night, shouldnt be too long before i get it off. umm i might be crazy but it looks like radiator stop leak. like a silver shiny texture and its on the threads of the spark plugs and it comes back even after i clean it. very strange
