If the compression goes up when you put a little oil in the cylinder it
means the rings are leaking. Too much oil could change the compression some
I suppose. Make sure you crank each cylinder until the gauge stops rising.


According to Shelikoff, and his boy wonder, JoeTechnician, leaking
rings is normal, and acceptable.
Really, they think that all four stroke engines should burn oil,
getting past rings.


I see that you're STILL trying to prove that you're too stupid to
understand the difference between "none", "a little bit" and "too much".

If SOME got by the rings, then how in the world would compression
increase? I'll tell you how. The oil actually makes a better seal than
dry.
