Hi All,
I have just done a "dry" compression test which had the following results :-
No 1 - 280 - 300 psi
No 2 - 200 psi
No 3 - 215 - 240 psi
No 4 - 240 psi
Anybody any thoughts ?
Regards
Dave

well time for a rebuild. You can shoot a little motor oil into the injector holes to see if the readings come up. But no matter what it's gotta come apart.

Hi,
Thanks folks. I am considering a rebuild, or find another one, or change to another engine that will fit into the slot.
Thanks for coming back to me.
Regards
Dave

Good one, do you have solid lifers. Don't even think of that anymore.
