Hey guys, i don't post much as i can usually find all my answers by looking around, but ive finally run into major car problems. I noticed some low compression in my engine. I tested it, and came out with 29-150-150-150.
I wet tested the #1 piston and it went from 29 to 91. This points to the rings I am pretty certain. Is it difficult to change the rings out with the engine still mounted? I don't have much money and I have even less time so i was wondering if this is even possible to do in a matter of a weekend.
Also, when I rev the engine I can smell fuel. Behind the #1 injector under the rail it is wet looking, unlike the area behind the other injectors. I can't see or feel a leak anywhere but it smells like it. Does it make sense that a fuel leak at the #1 injector would cause the rings to go if it is not getting adequate fuel?
Thanks to anyone who can help!
