Hey guys

Im gettin my intercooler, avcr tuned and split dump pipe put in

I have just recieved a phone call by one of the staff sayin

that my 6 cylinder has a lower compression then the other cylinders

all the cylinders are 150, the 6 cylinder is 130

im goin to see how it goes in about a months time and get another compression test done

Has anyone else been in this situation before.

it could be just glazed, or has some shit in there, but yeah don't know

but if it does gets worse, should i do a rebuild or be cheaper gettin a whole new engine?

Any information is great!

Thanks

Mate there is no need to rebuild your engine. How long has it been since you made an oil change? Make sure you change your oil (inc. filter) often as this will keep your engine clean and in good shape. I had something very similar and now my compression is good.

Also make sure that your injectors are all flowing consistently.

i had same prob but much more severe

5 cyls were at 115psi instead of 160psi

and cyl #3 was at bout 55psi chacked like 6 times
