	I am going in for my "valve job" on Monday..I have 150K miles on
it had pretty severe numbers on my leak-down test.  Like #2 cylinder at
48% loss and the others in the high teens and 20% range.  All of the
leakage was noticed through the Exhaust Valves and worn valve guides.
Might do the bottom and rings when we are in there depending on visual
inspection.  
	Mihena also gave some good insight in that if you do a
compression test first..execute the test like you normally would and get
the numbers.  Next do the same test but this time put in about 50ml of
oil in to each cylinder and see if the numbers improve will give you a
good idea if your rings are leaking or not.  If it doesn't improve time
for a ring job.

Going to be in the $3400 range + tax w/ Metal Head Gasket, ARP Head
Bolts, Waterpump, Pulley, timing belt and bottom-end rings and bearings.

There goes my bonus ..but will have a new car..but suspect the
transmission is next although we suspect it was replaced by the previous
owner...due to the early 92 transmission 1st gear issues...so keep your
fingers crossed there.
