Default Compression Test
Just ran a compression test:

When dry all values were 190

When wet all values were 240-250

Is it normal for the values to be so different? and are these normal?

If all are relatively the same then its normal......Lets say 1, 2, 4 were 185 and 3 was 150....that would be a problem

Yea they were less than 5 off between all values. So almost exactly the same... just wasnt sure if there should be that much of a difference between the wet and dry test?

If the wet test is higher than the rings might be worn....are you burning oil?
