Cheer up old chap, over heating doesn't = broken rings.... Pull that head.

Oh yeah I forgot to say - the reason I did a compression test in the first place was because I noticed a marginal drop in power last time I drove it.

I ran an IR thermometer over the headers yesterday and 8 was a lot lower in temp than the rest (and 6 was also noticeably cooler than the rest but not as much as 8)

So I pulled the plugs to swap 8 and 4 and was going to run the IR again in case it was a dud plug but saw 8 was covered in oil when I pulled them.

The plug swap made no difference to the IR readings so compression tested it and yeah well... you know the story from there.
