i have been posting about this topic for over a year now. If you want you can read my many post concerning this issue.
In short though: I have had a problem with my engine that involved misfiring, terrible timing, timing bouncing when trying to time, the truck running like [censored] off and on,the seller telling me it was an old boat motor, whit smoke pouring out of the tail pipe, then a period of 3 weeks where the engine worked again, to a point wher i could not get it to start.
I finally did a compression test today. this is an inline 6 250 from a chevy c20. The compresion is as follows from the front of the motor to the firewal.... 130,130,120,120,110,90.
i then put some oil in the first spark plug hole and the compression went to 180.
My question is could these obvious bad rings cause all the symptonms listed above. I plan on doing a complete rebuild to cover any possible issues, but i am curious if this would cause all that.
thanks....... i think
