Fully Built 6-bolt still with problems!

Well, I'm running out of ideas on what to do at this point.
Here it is:

Please let me know what you think. I've just bought a coolant system pressure tester and 'am waiting for my car to cool off before I do it.
Thanks,
Chris

Just tested the coolant system.
Losing 1psi on gauge every minute or two... Headgasket I'm guessing?

no....you have a cracked head....pull off the head and send it to the machine shop....We're working on an eclipse that has the same syntoms right now.

Oh ..... I was afraid of that, this head's been rebuilt twice . I'm really crunched on time as I'm leaving for USAF soon, I may just buy a new head and switch everything over.

Everyone agree with LUnarEclips (not saying you're wrong, just nice to have 2nd opinions)? I'll probably look to pulling the head this week.

Did another Compression Test.
With car warmed up:
130-180-155-175

Wet Test:
155-210-175-200 (avg. 25psi jump)

Wet test was done using one cap full of oil in ea. cylinder (is there any way I did this wrong?). Before performing test, engine was cranked over several times and checked for coolant/oil on pistons... didn't see any.

The only time I had hit 210 before was with 272 cams, on a dry test.
