I followed the list of starting an engine that has sat for a while. The engine fired right up and started pumping oil to the rockers only ran it for about 30 seconds. Decided to do a compression test. The results are as follows
#1 cyl. 130 lbs
#2 cyl. 150 lbs
#3 cyl. 160 lbs
#4c. 150 lbs
#5 c. 160 lbs
#6 cyl. 145lbs
How do these numbers seem to be? Okay to put it in the truck? | | |
