That 10 psi on one bank sounds bad, but not rings or valves bad.
My guess is it's a head gasket, even though it was recently
replaced. That may also be cause of the lack of heat, although
it could be a bad thermostat, too, or a clogged heater core.
In deference to all those who praise the I5 turbos,
the V6 isn't a bad engine, nor is the C4 100 a bad car.
