Message	The last time I did a compression test, I got about the same reading you mentioned, no cylinder above 120psi for the whole driver's side bank. Needless to say, I got in the foetal position in the corner and started shaking uncontrollably. I'm proud to say that I didn't cry though... =) After calming down a bit (thanks to a brisk slap upside the head by Zeus), I went back and did the compression test again, but this time, more careful about how I screwed in my el-cheapo tester. At that point, I got 155psi all across the board. Yaayyy! All this rant to say that if you're using a pretty cheap compression tester, make sure it's screwed in properly. Same applies to your leakdown test since I'm assuming you were using the same (but modified) equipment. Good luck George _________________________________________________________________________________ "The Z is the cause and the solution to all my problems" -- Me
