Hello all and happy holidays.
I was working on my buddies Spit today, he got some goodies for Christmas,
and we did a compression check. It wasn't sounding right and we found out
why, 1&2 cyl are reading 30 and 3&4 are reading 125. My question is, could
this be the valves or is it the rings? It doesn't seem to burning any oil
and has a new head gasket. The gasket was changed recently and I was
wondering if the valves were not set correct when the head was
re-installed? Could the valves be burned? I thought this was a strange
thing that the 1 &2 are the same exact Reading and the 3&4 are the same exact.
If anyone has some insight to this please help us avoid a needless rebuild...
Thanks
