Can anyone physically help me in the East Bay, Northern CA area?

Need help to perform a leak down test, compression test, and block test

I don't have any of the tools, but should be able to rent them, and/or buy them to do this.

I may have an issue with having a crack in one of my heads, I get multiple cylinder misfires and a cylinder 4 misfire. I also have another issue with my o2 sensor heater circuits and over voltage (both are unplugged right now though, long story, but need to be replaced, I just don't want to replace them, have them go bad because of this other issue, and then have to replace them again)


I do have a very weird schedule, but we can hopefully work something out if you are available

Check the Services / Automotive section of your local Craigslist.org webpage. Often you will find mechanics looking for side work in that section.

That wasn't the point of this post. The point was to see if a fellow enthusiast could assist me for minutes really, and help me get this done. I don't have a lot of $, and the labor rate to take it to a shop is ridiculous, as are inflated prices...

Beer or food could definitely be provided (granted you are over 21 ).

I did swap the number 4 and 6 fuel injectors to see if that was an issue, 304 and 300 still came back. I did get the rear o2 wired up, still don't have the front wired up yet.
