239 ci egine compression check results...problems
just had a compression check done on my 239 ci flathead v8..............
........7 of the cylinders were in the 75 to 85 range, while the remaining cylinder tested less than 50................??
......secondly, the mechanic left all the plugs in while removing only the plug of the cylinder being tested......could this have affected results ?
thanks

I had the same results with all the plugs removed. I pulled the heads and the two low cylinders had small pieces missing where the piston meets the cyl. wall. You could see the top ring. It looked like someone stuck a screw driver and pried in that area. rebuilder said he has seen that before. I sent it out to have it rebuilt. New style valve seats, adjustable valves, re-bore to 0.40 all new bearings etc. I had the water pumps rebuilt and gave to rebuilder to install. Total price about $2300.
