[QUOTE="turbology, post: 316773, member: 10223"] :rolleyes: uh-oh. maximum difference between cylinders should be only [B]7psi[/B]. Sorry to tell you this, but you have to rebuilt your engine soon. I thought you check the compression BEFORE you bought the car ? Was the test done at engine operating temperature (hot) ? maximum compression (140+ psi) should be archeived after 4-6 cranks. Why after the "cleaning", compession drop from cylinder 2 to cylinder 6 ?? The only way that I know that "CLEAN" valves/engine is to use Fuel System Cleaner (pour into gas tank), or a good full-tank of higher cleaning gasoline ( Techron ? V-power ? ) You should drive the car with few full tanks, and redo the compression test. Probably a good idea at difference place. Good luck [/QUOTE]
