So either way, doing a compression check on an engine that hasn't been
run
recently doesn't provide accurate measurements. If you're not going to
do
it right, why do it at all ?
I guess it all depends on your definition of "Right", RIGHT?
I would argue that running an engine (even while testing compression)
with rings scraping on dry cylinder walls is absolutely WRONG!
