Re: Any help for a new guy?
A simple way to check the compression is to turn the engine over with the hand crank. It should pull with the same resistance on all cylinders. A really good engine will not leak compression on a slow pull. Sometimes you can hear a hiss from the crankcase if the rings are worn or from the intake if an intake valve is leaking, or from the exhaust manifold with the exhaust pipe removed if an exhaust valve is leaking.
