BUT...
I did the compression test today with the help of Seth, Kate, and Landon stopped by on his way to class to run his mouth :D Here were the results:
#1 - 149 psi
#2 - 173
#3 - 161
#4 - 159
#5 - 35
#6 - 169
#7 - 165
#8 - 179
Adding a little oil to #5 then retesting compression brought it up to 58 or so. Bad ring? Can anyone let me borrow a compressor and valves i could do a leak down test on before I start to pull the head? Anyone got a driveway they dont need for a little while i could possibly borrow?
