Hi everyone,
When I bought this car in 2000, I adjusted the valves and checked compression, which was 138 psi for 3 of the four cylinders and 95 for the number 3 cylinder. Today, I repeated this check and the 3 cylinders are at 127, with the number 3 cylinder at 82 psi. I put a tblsp of oil in the #3 cyl spark plug hole and the compression came up to 130, so I believe the cause is just ring wear. The question is what are everyones thoughts on allowable min compression (if not there already) before rebuilding the engine. Or is the delta between the 'good' and bad cylinder compression too great? Thanks, and happy new year, Rick |
