RE: [DML] Houston, I have a (compression) problem



Run the test again, but this time put a couple of teaspoons of motor oil 
into cylinder 4. If the compression comes way up, you have a ring problem in 
that cylinder. If it doesn't suspect valve related problems. To find out for 
sure what is going on, a leak-down test will pinpoint the issue for you.
