Thanks guys, Yes, it ours in the driveway.
I'll now modify to say I'll pull the valve cover and see if I can get oil through the motor from the top down, with gravity for a day or two, maybe some Marvel mystry oil through the plug holes too.
Then after spinning a wee bit to not foul the comp tester, try and read the cylinders.
Dave O can you explain pulling the pan and other things so I dont wreck it? Is there a way to maniupulate th oil pup otherwise to ensure it isn't dry or not working too?
Yall think a thumb will do it, or should I borrow a compression tester from Advantage/Discount AP?
