Tried out my new $50 e-bay compression tester today. I was pleasantly
surprised when I opened it to find out it was American made. I am pleased
with it for the money, but was not happy with the numbers it showed. Left
to right I got 375, 385, 370, and 350 psi. If I have been paying attention
I believe under 400 is getting pretty low? It is looking like I will need
to re-ring with only 25k miles on the last job. Next break in will be
different (Loren can I borrow your horse trailer to pull?).
It is still running well and will be a while till I can get at it
I guess I could try some mechanic in a can stuff while I am waiting. Has
anyone ever had any luck with any of the "Restore" type miracle oil
additives? Maybe some Bon-Ami?
