I'm breathing easier again today and will definitely sleep better:

My mechanic just phoned with the test results:
Leakdown = 2-3% all around
Compression = 150-170

Man I can't tell you what a relief this is! I was expecting the absolute worst.

Nest steps:
- Oil change
- Valve adjustment
- Replace the rocker shaft O rings (may be causing the leak)
- Upgrade to Turbo style valve covers (orginal magnesium ones are a little adding to the leaking)

I'm also picking up an 8mm allen wrench, matching box-end and an extra 24 mm box wrench so that I can change teh belt myself should this happen again.


I'd like to thank everyone who responded with thoughts/ insights & direction. I was lucky this time and am definitely better prepared now. You guys are lifesavers!
