I think I understand. I will try that next time.

Thanks Gene.

Hi Tom,

I have been working on reciprocating engines for over 40 years as a
hobby.
My grandfather, father and uncle were professionally trained mechanics. I
have taken lots of compression tests in my day but have never heard of a
"wet test"? If you have 150# in all 6 cylinders and it is not burning oil
and goes pretty good, I don't think I would rebuild it unless you are
going
to do a real high-end rebuild or a brand new motor.

Ever squirt a teaspoon or two of oil in a cylinder to sort out ring
problems from valve problems? The rings are wet......
