Compression Woes

[maximos]

Hey guys, so while trying to figure out where all the oil in my engine was going to I had a compression check completed. The cylinders ranged between 3% and 23% beneath where they should. What can I do to cure this? Or at least help a little bit? Thanks in advance.

What were your cylinder pressures?

pull it and re-ring it

Get your dry and wet numbers.

x2, but it does sound like the engine's going to need new piston rings.

Subscribing!

My car is doing similar things, like 'loosing' oil.

I plan on doing a compression test as soon as I get time.

Since re-ringing the engine is about the only way to fully cure the problem,
what have you guys heard about Federal Mogul kits? Any good?

I had the bottom end rebuilt on my engine only last month with new Federal Mogul rod/main bearings and Sealed Power moly rings. I've done 1000 miles since with zero problems (knock on wood).

Good to hear, I think I need new rings I'll go the Federal Mogul route.
