does anybody have one i can borrow for a hot minute, or maybe if you want to help me out that'd be awesome. maybe if you want to do it for a case or something.
also any other advice on the situation is appreciated.
it's a sure fire beat that if anyone 1 cyclinder is 5% + or - of any of the other cyclinder then your rings are bad. If your compression is 156 and you read 110 then they are bad. Please remember compression readings need to take into consideration head gasket mods as well. Thicker drop and thinner raise. Also shaving the head will move those numbers as well.
