Compression test FTW!

It takes no time and tells the truth

If it's absolutely necessary, then yes. Thanks for the tip bro.

Just got back from Raceline (tuner's shop).

Verdict:

1) Head gasket is fine
2) Need to replace thermostat
3) Need to replace fan switch

We let the Bella idle for about 10-15 minutes and the radiator fans still didn't turn on. Seemed like the thermostat was stuck. So out with the old and in with the new. Mugen thermostat and fan swith will be the weapons of choice for the replacements. I'd get Spoon, but it would take a week to arrive. I should be able to take her home tomorrow. I'm glad cause I have a date with my beautiful girlfriend tomorrow night.
