Update… after our 20 “ of snow, it hit 50 degrees and I pulled the intake. I disconnected the three wires to the starter plus the alternator wire to avoid back feeding to a bad place. The starter got the jumper cables and jumper wires and turned the engine at about 1/3 speed. I had the plugs out so I tried a compression test on 1 and 2. 75 pounds on 1 and zero on 2. Bummer. Now I have to decide about finding a decent 3.0 motor or selling the x5. I’d be inclined to keep it and look for a motor and replace my wife’s 325. I’ll have to tear down the motor to see what happened.

About how long does it take you to take the head off, to see you if it’s just a head gasket issue?
