Gitter dun.

Two different compression test. Dry and wet. First do the dry test. Pour a tablespoon of oil down into the cylinders that were low. Compression test those cylinders again. If your numbers go up you probably have worn rings. If your numbers stays the same do a leak down test.

* Pull the oil fill cap. Air coming out? Worm rings or melted pistions
* Listen to the tailpipe. Air coming out? Exhaust valve(s) leaking
* Listen to the intake manifold. Hear air? Intake valve(s) leaking
* Pull the radiator cap. Air coming out? Compression leaking into the water jacket (Check adjacent cylinders. Head gasket in between cylinder, a cracked head and/or a cracked cylinder sleeve)

Gitter dun
