I just got done using my (new to me) Motometer compression tester, and here are the results --shame on me, this test was not done with a fully warmed engine :( #1 ~335 #2 ~325 #3 ~350 #4 ~325 #5 ~345 #6 ~350
These numbers seem a bit low, but don't appear to reveal any serious inter-cylinder variance issues or signs of chain vault blowout as the obvious source of my blue smokescreen. Any thoughts?
