<VV> Engine Problem....What to do?

[UltraMonzaWest@aol.com]

Todd,  and others....   a little common sense will do....ggg

If there wasn't any extra blowby when running....then it pretty well says the 
piston / rings are OK

When doing a compression test....low cylinder......squirt some engine oil in 
the plug hole....re-check....compression goes UP???   RINGS......no change??  
valve[s]


As far as "leakdown" testing.......that's for engines with LONG  duration / 
big overlap  CAMS...static compression on those engines is so low it is 
meaningless..
