Hi guys, I have no compression in cylender one so I thought that my engine is gone (piston or piston ring). My michanic says that it maybe a bent valve.
what do you guys think. I was hopping it is coz I dont wanna change my engine if posibble. Please help. BTW all 3 other cylender was 150 on compression.
 
Yeah I did the compression test. All 3 was 150 in I got 0 on cylender 1
 
Thats the next one I'm going to do. But is it posible that just the bent valve, or I'm looking for a new engine?
 
you could always do the oil test, where you add a very small amount of oil to the low compression cylinder and see if it raises it when you do another compression test. That could be worn piston rings. If you do the leak down you should be able to pinpoint if a valve is bent and leaking where is coming from either intake or exhaust on cylinder 1.
