No compression

Post by lee_rob »

Hey all

Well the little minor continues to throw up problems. Having put the engine back together with a newly rebuilt head I find I have either very very low or no compression on all cylinders. The rings seemed ok when I put them back with plenty of spring in them and the bores are not worn. Any ideas as to where I am loosing compression??

I assume there was plenty of oil used in the bores on asembly, might be worth removing the spark plugs and pumping some oil into each bore and see what that does. 8)

Think it's sorted turned out the rings just needed to bed a little and needed a better spark.
