hello folks.
I am suffering from low compression. I have 150 in #1, 74 in #2, 130 in #3,
and 60 in #4. I will be pulling my engine in a few days so I was wondering if
anyone has any advice for a novice vw owner. I just recently pulled my engine
and got as far as yanking the cylinders off of the pistons. I didn't see any
signs of wear with the rings, pistons, or cylinders, or anything else for
that matter. I bled the hydraulic lifters, put new seals on, and I reseated
#3 exhaust valve because that was the only cylinder that had a low
compression. I read to do that in the idiot's guide. The compression readings
were always fairly far apart. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You,
Steve
