This is at the word of the previous owner. It's a $300 van so I don't mind doing the LIM but I'm hoping I don't have to pull the heads.
Will a regular, pull the plugs and crank it with the fuel pump relay pulled compression check, be enough to pretty much rule out head gasket/cracked head? If just the intake gaskets are leaking (confirmed visually) then there should be no compression loss, right?
If I get 130+ on all six cylinders, I don't think I'm pulling the heads. The engine feels strong enough as it is, I don't think it's compromised. Of course a 3/4 mile trip home never going above 30 isn't much of a confirmation...
