Cylinders 1,2,3,4, & 7 were @180 psi, but unfortunately cylinder 6 was @150 psi, & cylinders 5 & 8 were @ a measly 120 psi!!!!! Needless to say I am pretty bummed out about this... A 54k mile N/A motor with low compression in 3 out of 8 cylinders... I have plans to get it fixed though, hopefully I won't have to come out of pocket...

Those numbers sound all bad. Hopefully, you don't have to come out of pocket to fix it.

Ouch D. What were the numbers. Didnt you have the car tuned a while back by a shop? I remember you posted something about that a long time ago.

I somewhat know how you feel, I blew the head gasket in my cobra and its not a very good feeling. Couldn't imagine a motor rebuild. [Frown]

Tell me about it... The car isn't even payed off yet... & if you know me, you know I don't beat on my cars as much as most people do....
