Hello Gang,
I did the compression test on a hot engine and here
is what I found:
Cyl. Dry Wet
-----+--------+-------
1 130 psi 136 psi
2 105 psi 110 psi
3 130 psi 136 psi
4 130 psi 135 psi
Interpretation:
Bottom end good, top end bad on cylinder #2. This car
has not been driven in many months but that's not
enough lack of use to account for the #2 pressure
drop. What this tells me is that the head needs a
valve job.
So it sounds like I now have a little more
mechanic-work before the winter is out. I'd better go
now. I have a workplan to build. Okay, I have to
admit. I look forward to this work. I like the
precision of seating then adjusting valves.
regards,
rick
