1 - You didn't read the, "As is", part of the sales agreement. 2 - Your girlfriend after her cross-country road trip - "Gears?!" 3 - Clyde really hasn't, "worked on no foreign car", before. 4 - After replacing the gasket you can't find your 10mm socket. 5 - Motor oil is, "pretty much the same", no matter what it says on the bottle.

Evo shut off at light , haven’t started since compression reads 110 on cylinder 2? I tested sparks separately all sparked I have to go back and test at the same time.

Interesting one. Have a buick 3.8 series 3 v6 that keeps registering a dead miss cyl 4. I've checked everything and all good. 150 psi in cyl 4. Here's the monkey. When the car cranked during the compression check the gauge fell to 20-25 lbs. I'm thinking a gummy slow moving valve. Spark is great, new injectors and compression at 150 when cranking. I was about to tackle the intake gaskets when I stumbled upon this low compression when it started. Any thoughts would help. Thanks.

I got my engine back from a rebuild using the same parts. Car is about 50whp short, but runs, drives, and idles fine. Would getting a compression test be worth it?

My suzuki mehran showed 62psi in dry test and in wet test 170 psi in two cyllinders while 200 psi in 3rd cyllinder.

My car has never overheated but I have a misfire on cylinder 3, spark plugs, ignition coil, and fuel injector have been checked and all is good. Would you recommend I do a compression test? Or should I first check MAF, fuel filter or is there anything else I can do or check? Thanks for the video and sharing your knowledge.

must ? compress? challenge accepted... a 0 compression engine (patent 0 compress) no leaks WILL run on hydrogen since is explosive instead of just flammable like gasoline.. perhaps you should tell the how poor of a fuel gasoline really is, considering if you dont compress it... you get 0 energy from it :-\ ps this is 120 year old knowledge that big oil dont want people to know about :-\
