 |
|
I did a dry compression test on my 1.6L gemini engine this arvo and i got the results:
#1 145
#2 140
#3 75
#4 150
Whats the deal? or should I say, whats the most likly thing thats wrong? Also i took all the plugs out and one of them was closed rite up... Looks to me like something bad has happened.
Any info or ideas appreciated

does it rattle or anything like that, blow smoke?
was the plug just fouled up with oil or what?
could just be valve seats |

im guessing exhaust valve, im no pro but
you are loosing compresion somewhere
1.not cause of blowby (compresion going past rings) or cracked piston cause otherwise it would be burning oil and blowing smoke and plugs would fowl up.
2. probly not head gasket blown cause you would notice that
3. so logically the only thing left is valves,
dunno if this helps but hey
good luck
