Default Re: Weak #6 cylinder

It's time to push out the pistons, it looks like the lower cyl in the picture that the top compression ring is broken---the cyl by the blue dipstick shows a good shadow that is even all around(as much as the picture shows), the bottom cyl shows ring contact in just little streaks ---most likely from the ends of broken ring pieces ---if that is also the low compression cyl most likely that is a factor in the low compression
