Ok i bought a compression tester did some testing and just need someone to verify what i think is the problem.
1 dry wet
145 210
2 20 30
3 152 210
4 138 190
what i believe to be the problem is the head/valve area, the manual said standard compression numbers should be 205 ish on a new engine and not less then 150 on a used. my number do confirm that my rings are definitely worn but the searches i have pulled up here those are about the average from used engines. Know should i just pull the head and get a rebuild or should i just go ahead and try to do a re ring. The engine has aprox. 215000 miles.
thanks!
