Default My compression numbers after being towed home.

These tests were performed on a cold engine since it doesn't start:
Cylinder 1: 60psi
Cylinder 2: 130psi
Cylinder 3: 123psi
Cylinder 4: 95psi

Tests were performed with an Actron 7828.

I then tried a quick leak down test on cylinders 1 and 4. I got the engine at TDC and I can hear air escaping to the intake manifold.

What could have happened ?

Sorry to hear that. looks like you will be removing and replacing/recondition your head. Have you ever done that before? What caused the car to be towed?

It just stopped after pushing the engine.I have done it about 10K ago(~2 years). Hopefully I can get a rebuilt head for a good price.

what do you mean by "pushing the engine"? I saw a head floating around here not to long ago and at least you have done this before. Still sucks. Good luck.

I thought the same. But when I placed the engine at TDC, both marks line up. I'll have to double check everything when I have more time.

When you say engine was "at TDC" for the leakdown test, you mean each cylinder was tested at "its" TDC, right?

A good deal, and once again, Lart was exactly 6 minutes in responding. Cat-like!
