geez, I'm surprised the engine runs at all Posted by DougM [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Compression tests, JasonS, Sun, 10 Sep 2006 15:58:54 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
50 psi in 3 cylinders and zero in the other is way too low.
Did he crank the engine a few times to fully bring up a number, or just let it spin once till he got a reading?
I have not experienced zero compression in a cylinder...well, except for the 73's when I brought it home > it had a hole in the top of one of the pistons.
I suppose you need to pull the head off and see what's going on up top. That certainly can be done easily enough while the engine is still in the car.
