leakdown test? hmm i'll look into that, thanks alot

RE: piston ring???
i would think doing a compression test would tell you because if the rings are going out there would be a lower compression then should be

ORIGINAL: 95SiR how can you tell, or find out if the rings are gone w/o pulling it out??? does car smoke kind of blueish smoke out of tailpipe ?? ( burn oil ) ,,, does it use oil ?? do you have to add oil and there are no leaks ? like it was advised a compression test will do the trick.. do a dry and wet test dry test is a normal test.. a wet test, put a bit of oil in the cylinder you are testing and record the readings, DO NOT put oil in all cylinders all at the same time. because when you crank it , oil will fly out ,, if compression reading come up considerably , you got worn rings |
RE: piston ring???
ok, my question, with worn rings does compression go down or up? i could understand it going both ways, but I havent had an issue with the rings going out yet, so im not all that sure.

RE: piston ring???
The pressure would go down or show a lower compression figure than your other stronger cylinders.

RE: piston ring???
Yeah, you would definetly have lower compression than the factory specifications with worn rings.

hehe, ok, thought so, i guess how desert said it threw me off a little...
