Al---Too early to consider pulling the motor. First, do a leakdown test to see
if it can be determined where the pressure loss is occuring. Could be you only
need a valve job/adjustment, or a head gasket, or maybe even just a new set of
rings or a piston/set. Based strictly on the loss in #1 cylinder, you should
only need to "pull the engine" if a rebore is necessary.

Subject: [6pack] Pull the engine?
I just completed a compression test and # 1 cylinder comes up at 95lbs. All
the others run about 150lbs. I did a wet test and # 1 comes up to 135lbs. Do
I pull the motor and do a ring job or is there an alternative?
I need a stiff drink!
