David- 4G63 is a mitsubishi motor.

Ed- Go with the CD, it takes up less space, and you can print out the  
specific sections you need, take them out the the engine bay, and not  
care if they get all greased out... I would suggest not only doing a  
compression test, but a leakdown test as well (oh, you mentioned that  
in another message)... I have a feeling you're going to find bad  
rings is your issue. I had an old Tercel (a '91) that had a blown  
head gasket when I got it (and MANY miles on the motor after the  
gasket went, they just kept filling the water) and once I redid the  
head gasket I found 1,2, and 4 all got 135psi and #3 had 90. Add a  
little oil to the cylinder, and all of a sudden they all held 135. I  
ran it for a year like that before I had to smog it, and it was time  
for a new car... (cause the Tercel had cost me a total of $500 at  
this point, and getting to pass smog was going to require more than  
that)
