1.8 compression results help
So i did a dry test on a supercharged motor, the spark plugs were pretty drenched with oil and the results came out
-170 -150 -165 -160 valve cover seems to be leaking. Since its a car im interested in buying, i dont have a compressor to do a leak down test and didnt think to do a wet test while i was at it. But considering the variation with cylinder 2, is this a NO GO? |
not no go, but definitely not healthy

What are your plans with the car? Are you going to build on top of what the previous owner has done or are you prepared to have a motor waiting for you when this one goes?
12.5% difference; I'd like to see under 10, but it could be super worse. #2 is a bit dodgy, might be able to just break it down and hone/re-ring the cylinders and be fine |
rule #1: no BP get's re-built with stock rods and re-used rings

Not sure if that compression result is very bad or not |

Oil on the spark plugs could very easily be a VC gasket. I have seen that many times before. Compression numbers a a bit wide spread then I would like to see, but I have seen far worse on running cars.
