Low compression :(

Just done a compression test on the R & the figures a 130, 135, 130, 105 So im down on compression on cylinder 4!

Its been sat for a week so going to try again tomorrow after ive been for a run in it tonight & get some charge in the batery as battery may have gone abit flat as i got to cylinder 4?

Am i ok running the car with the comp abit low? as im wanting to go to santa pod in two weeks, Not to run but just to meet a few more R's there :/

did you do the test with the engine at running temp, i got results of 165,165,170,135 with my when i checked it cold after a rebuild, but when hot they were all even across the board.

Yes i did it cold with WOT, so shold i let it get up to temp the & try again at WOT?

yeah apparently it is worth shit unless hot that's what i got told anyway

Ok cheers pal, ill give it another go tomorrow. Hopefully ill get better readings, fingers crossed

No problem they were brand new at a very good price as i say it was just the pic that got me thinking.It was a few year back now can not even remember wher it was just thought i could put a face to the name.The lad sold them to realise funds to do work on his car and paint with yours looking good i thought it was that
