I just ran a compression check and the results are as follows:

YESTERDAY

1. 120 - plugs light biscuit
2. 125 - plugs light biscuit
3. 145 - plugs light biscuit
4. 145 - plugs light biscuit

TODAY

1. 0   - plugs oiley
2. 0   - plugs oiley
3. 160 - plugs darker biscuit, some oil on plug threads
4. 160 - plugs darker biscuit

What do you lot make of that?  I would guess that somehow I have 2 broken
pistons or piston rings, but why would 2 cylinders show the same
symptoms?

Incidentally it was cylinder 3 that the valve dropped on to a few months
back.

cheers
