Hello,
I've been trying to decide whether to do a full rebuild on my engine
or just replace the bearings and leave it at that for now. Unfortunately,
I think Uncle Sam is going to want any spare cash I have come April 15th.
So money is getting a little tight for a rebuild.
I went and got a compression tester to see how the rings are and here
are the results:
cylinder #1 no oil 190lbs/psi oil 265lbs/psi
#2 no oil 175lbs/psi oil 275lbs/psi
#3 no oil 170lbs/psi oil 265lbs/psi
#4 no oil 185lbs/psi oil 270lbs/psi
This makes no sense to me as the Bently book says 120lbs/psi is the
proper reading for the 1275 series A. I took all of the measurements
twice and came up with the same thing both times.
Does anyone have any insight to these readings? I'd appreciate any help
I can get.
TIA,
Robert Weeks
