Easiest thing to test is compression.

Cylinders 2, 3, 4:


Great!

Cylinder 1:


****.

I drop a little bit of oil in the cylinder


my reaction:



So I said **** it. What is the worse that can happen at this point?

I ran Motor Medic through the car twice, and put a drop in the cylinder.

I didn't take a picture, but now its squeezing ~174psi!!!!!! Car runs much better now. It has been going strong for 3 weeks. will check compression again soon just to see.
Does no one else think this is the funniest thing ever??
