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.

Good. At least now you realize that the rings/cylinder interface isn't
dry and has some oil between. Part of that oil layer gets burned during
combustion.

So, let's see, a wet compression test tells us that the rings are
worn, if the compression comes up from wet to dry. WORN, as in needs
to be rebuilt. Now, if the test stays the same, decent compression wet
or dry, the rings and or cylinder wall are good. So, using your above
analogy, if the rings are getting oil by them, they are bad. If the
ring to cylinder fit is good, the compression doesn't change from wet
to dry. SO, please explain how this could possibly be.
