135 145 145 145 -- The 135 is a little low in comparison to the other three. you have done half a test, now you need to do a wet test to determine if it is rings or valves that is bad. Put three or four squirts of oil into the cylinder that you are checking and do another compression test, if the compression comes up it is the rings(leaking) if it stays the same, its either a valve burnt or a air leak around the head. The ten pounds difference is enough to make a rough idle. Phil __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
