Title: Low Compression Post by derbibass on 06.05.16 at 22:39:17
I did a compression test. The front engine has a compression value of 155 psi and the rear engine had a compression value of 120 psi. It was tested dry (without oil) Then i tried a compression test with oil at the rear engine. Suddenly the compression went up to 145 psi. So my conclusion is bad piston rings ore a bad cylinder. My Question. I would like to know how i can ben sure it's the piston ring ore the cylinder and what do i do next? Where can i buy piston rings and do they need to be bigger then the originals ? |

Did you check the valve clearances first
