Message She was smoking BAD, but once I did a ACCURATE Compression test, with a little help from a buddy turning the ignition behind the wheel, wheile I read the highest achieved PSI reading per cylinder.. #1 was 0 PSI,

While the rest where within spec, BUT, there cannot be a 20% difference between neighboring cylinders.

**Also, its a good rule of thumb, thaty ur PSI numbers hould not be the same across the board for a back to back series of cylinders..

Meaning, for example:

I'll use my numbers as a example..The odd numbers are all on the right bank as your facing the Z, see how 1 is obviously bad, but how my #3, and #5 are matching..

Thats a NO NO... There should be slight psi differences in a good motor, those matching numbers, PLUS my obvious #1 being 0, shows that I most like have damaged PISTON rings, or a burned hole in one or all cylinders on the right bank primarily..

#1: 0 PSI**

#2: 148PSI

#3: 132PSI**

#4: 157PSI

#5: 132PSI**

#6: 143 PSI.
