Bad Sound 2

["Ned Smith" <smithn00@kitepilot.net>]

A compression test showed this:

                                                1 - 70#

                                                2 - 150

                                                3 - 155

                                                4 - 155

                                                5 - 150

                                                6 - 170



Clearly Cyl. 1 has a problem.

I am looking at references to a "wet test" and not understanding the
explanations.

If I add oil to the cylinder and compression goes up, this means I have good
rings and valves?

If it does not change, it means I have bad rings and/or bad valves.

Since I can hear can hear a loud ticking when I spin the engine with not
spark plugs, it probably means I have a bad valve?



If so, what then? I guess the head has to come off. Does anyone have a
procedure for doing that?

What other things should be done at the same time?



TIA
