1997 Honda Civic ex V-TEC SOHC

Vehicle came in with cylinder misfire p0300, and P0301. Ran the Honda specified procedures for the vehicle and came to find out the vehicle had very low compression, around 90 PSI. This vehicle calls for 135 PSI. I continued to test everything including vacuum test which showed possible valve issues. I did a wet compression test and found out the the valve seals and head gasket are leaking. Plus the Guest couldn't help but take the offer that wasn't at the stealership! The cylinder head is now at the Machine shop getting pampered : You'd need it after 145,000 miles !
