[urq] Head Gasket Failure?(was URQ quirqiness)

[fdekat]

I'll have to go with Huw's theory. THere's just too much air to flow through
a busted head gasket to get NO reading.

For example..
Look at this picture: http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/80066/headgasket.jpg
Even with that kind of damage, I got ~50 lbs in the cylinders adjoining to
the break in the headgasket ..

Now if you had a valve problem, or a big hole is a piston, maybe a different
situation..?
