with oil in cylinders
#4 167 #3 152 #2 150 #1 173


How am I getting over factory of 161psi when oil is in the cylinders? I must have some serious carbon build up. :confused:

FYI: when I rev up its like a smoke show (blue smoke)...

Supposedly the valves were done in 2003, but then this car sat for over a year :(
 
Looks like most, if not all of the rings are bad. A leakdown will be able to confirm as well as if other factors are in play as well.
 
Yah, another cheapy "leak down test" is to drill a hole in a spark plug and then put a tube on the end and then screw it into the cylinder and blow compressed air in it. Take off the oil cap and if you hear air coming through there, then the rings are shot, if you hear air coming out of the exhaust, exhaust valves are leaking, and if through the intake, then intake valves are leaking.

Sooo, I guess I'll like do that and stuff.. Huh huh huh.
