Well lets hope it's nothing too serious...
I will know more on Sunday after the compression test. I will keep you posted?

If you're talking about the 4 bolts for the no. 3 cylinder head cover (between the valve covers), then they're 14mm hex keys. I think I paid around $10 for one of those hex keys from NAPA awhile back, they were the only people in town that had one in stock

Well, did a compression test this weekend past and was not good...didn't get any readings on #1 and 2 and about 50 on #3, and around 25 on the rest..so just going to look around for a new engine.

You should at least take this one apart. It would be interesting to see what blew the engine? For grins and giggles, did you check the timing belt?

Zero on one or two cylinders.... sure... seriously blew the HG, melted holes in pistons, etc. Low reading on a couple cylinders... sure, same possible causes as the former... Low readings on ALL cylinders... bad gauge, operator error, head lifted, or entire bottom end fell out.
I'm thinking you should pull the head before you start throwing money at unknown problems.

I have decided to take it apart...almost done and will post as to my findings..I am only a novice as far as mechanical skills go.
the timing belt looked fine as far as I could tell.
