no compresson July 30, 2005, 09:34:07 PM i'm helping my buddy with his motor swap in his truck, and we've got no compresson, we thought it might have jumped a tooth on the timing, so we re-did it ..and re-did it again..and again..all and all about 5 times....still nothing, we get about 3 PSI on the gauge..,We pulled the valve covers of, and watched the rocker arms move really well, any body know what the problem could be ? we tryed to pour some oil down the cylinder, and let it sit for about 5 mins....and still no compresson, each hole has about the same 2-4 PSI Quote Selected
Re: no compresson Reply #1 – July 31, 2005, 06:27:38 AM Does the gauge actually work? Try it on your car.Is the carb/throttle (if installed) held open during the test?Did you have the engine apart for a rebuild, or is it a previously running engine you're just dropping in? Quote Selected
Re: no compresson Reply #2 – August 10, 2005, 06:36:17 AM the motor came outa my old truck, (RIP, it was still running when i bailed out of the wreck)i know the gauges works, for shure, carb wasn't on the motor, he took of the rockers, and still nothing, we are assuming the rings collapsed, so well go from there Quote Selected
