This question is related to an MGA engine so if you aren't interested please
press DELETE now.
I did a compression test on the MGA engine in my Elva and got the following
results (reading from cylinders 1-4):
Engine cold : 156-148-137-158
Engine hot: 137-140-125-145
W/squirt of oil: 147-150-133-160
It seems that cylinder #3 is low by about 10-15% across the board. But
does the fact that the oil squirt raised all readings up proportionally point
toward a bad exhaust valve? Would a leakdown test be any more significant?
Thanks--Michael Oritt
