I hear alot of people saying to do a compression test if they are having power issues. My question is, if you do find a problem with the compression what sort of recourse do you have? Meaning what can be done to fix compression issues? TIA

 

rebuild

 

its either leakin valves, blown head gasket or worn rings. Either way you would have to fix the prolbem by pulling the head or rebuilding the block.

 

So.. no easy fix. ..and these sort of issues should be noticable other than "my car isn't as fast as so and so's..

 

Trust me both my 1st gen dsm's had horrible compression due to a rod bearing and bad valve, when your compression is really bad, its because of a serious problem, of which you will definantly feel.

 

Does anyone know what our compression should come out at? I want to check mine before I get my next set of mods incase there is anythig wrong.
