Allstarsrd12 is on a distinguished road
With the 3rd shop I had it taken to, they said as a final diagnosis that there is compression in the cooling system. He was very stumped as well, said it was very weird. Couldn't give me an exact reason. He also said there was loss in compression in all cylinders.... which I don't get.
Said possibly, that when I had my #6 piston replaced (DISA valve broke, flew into cyl. 6, etc etc), that they might have either not torqued the head bolts down enough, or might have overtorqued them and stripped them, and the engine couldn't handle the stress from the long drive from new york.

However the car wont start what so ever. won't even crank or try to turn over. Seems like an electrical problem of some sort. Lights flicker, interior lights are very weak, the lock-beep is faint. Is it possible at all that during the course of things steaming and spraying, the alternator might have been effected?
