confirmation : compression test done
Hi
We had surmised that the engine was toast due to rising oil consumption and blow by..now with a great deal of pressure behind the smoke.
however, the compression test, revealed pressures ranging from 400 to 430 had one cylinder..number 6 at 150. how sad due to the previous owner's bad choices for filtration and over all negligence.
i have a used engine on hand and will test that weds. i hope it has good numbers as it reportedly has only 118k miles on it.
