So everything was fine up until a few days ago when I noticed I was having a bit of a problem climbing RPMs when I got on the highway. My initial thought was that my fuel filter was plugged up so I changed it out and that didn’t fix it. I thought maybe because I ran an octane booster in it with supreme fuel that it may have just been running too rich. But it won’t stay running at idle. If I give it gas it will stay running but as soon as I let off it dies out and won’t stay running on its own. I figured it’s cause it was rich fuel so I added regular unleaded to bring the octane down but nothing changed. I then got curious and did a compression test and sure enough the left bank only holds 60lbs. (1&2) cylinders. Cylinder 3&4 hold 115 lbs. does this mean that the engine blew or a gasket blew? Do I need to get a new motor? Any and all input would be greatly appreciated guys thanks!
