Is the head bad if there is no compression or is it the oil pump that operates the lifters on a 1988 323?

No compression on all cylinders would indicate a broken cam belt. i think this motor has hydralic lifter, but for them to cause no compression it would be unlikly. when you say no do you mean none at all or low compression? a broken cam belt could be the cause if all cylinders have no compression. if the cylinders are down it could be bad valve seats (the point of contact between the valve and the head). if it is one or two cylinders it could be cracked head or cracked/broken head gasket. the only other possablilities are broken rings or broken piston. you need to know compression reading of all cylinders in a dry and wet situation. to do this 1:take the compesssion of a cylinder 2:then remove compression guage and squirt two good squirts of engine oil in the cylinder through the plug hole. 3:retake comperssion reading of cylinder. if the compression reading increases you have bad rings, if it doesnt the rings are fine. hope that helped and not confused you Geoff

No, just pull the intake manifold, thenfish the lifters out.
99 Pontiac grand am is skipping on 2 cylinders?
Run a compression test. If compression is low you have either a blown head gasket or burned valves. If that's not the problem, check the plugs and wires. If that's not the problem, check the coil pack. Each coil pack operates two plugs.

Will a blown head gasket affect hydraulic lifters?
it will cause the engine to overheat and also coolant to enter the oil system, which will in turn cause wear of the lifters.
If i replace a head gasket and resurface my head will it restore my compression and make my vehicle start and run?
You will have an improvement in engine performance and an increase in compression unless the compression rings on the pistons need replacement .
What is the clearance for the valves and lifters on a 1996 S-10 2.2 liter?
No adjustment can be made. The lifters are hydraulic. The rocker arm nuts are torqued to 19-22 ft lbs. If you have noisy lifters replacement is necessary. Replacing the lifters requires removal of the head. Be sure to also check cam and push rods for wear.
