First the car smoked bad when it started, got worse as I drove so I go to shut it down but it died before I can do it myself. Coolant filled my catch can and when I pulled the dipstick a big puff of air came out and it was very foamy. Today we pressure tested the water system, held 17psi for 10 minutes then bled it. Next we did a compression test and got HORRIBLE results. Cyl 1 = 90psi, Cyl 2 = 95, Cyl 3 = 90, and Cyl 4 = 120 psi. We did the test with the valve cover off does that matter ? We were wot during the test and the injectors were unplugged along with the coil pack plug. As we speak we are trying a wet test in cyl 1 to test the rings. Any advice or suspect to these results would really help. Sorry for bad grammer I'm typing this all from my phone. Wet test gave on average about a 20psi gain but all still on or below the service limit
