Default Re: Compression questions

The compression readings are a little low. Tell us more about your engine. Did it sit for a long period of time (years) before you started to run it? What is the condition of your radiator? How are the fins, are they smashed flat? Did your radiator sit without coolant for a long period of time? Is the inside of your engine block rusty? What about your distributor, is it properly timed?

There are a lot of questions, along with the possiblility of a bad head gasket.
