That's great compression! Take one cup of MMO every morning and call me if compression goes below 90 PSI cold.

This does not look too good, but should that be enough to cause a low power and poor gas mileage (15.3 mpg on highway). I added a little oil for 1 and 4 cylinder and test again, both compression went up to 150. I know this is not good but how bad is it? > > > -- > No virus found in this incoming message. > Checked by AVG Anti-Virus. > Version: 7.0.308 / Virus Database: 266.9.6 - Release Date: 4/11/2005 > >
