    Compression Test

    Also it says if it compression goes up after adding oil it is worn pistons, but if it stays the same that its leakage in valves, so this confuses me. Should it stay the same, drop or rise? lol

    Compression Test

    So I finally get around to doing the test and it starts raining. I was needing to ask yall what should the psi gauge read? I only got to check 1 cylinder and its was maybe 65, but the ignition coil was still hooked up and engine was cold. I cant get car to run to warm it up

Which is said to be due to bad rings etc. The compression test will tell me. And no smoke coming...
