Re: compression test on 318

[jim <jimfmd@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Were you able to start the motor?
I would try and start the motor and run it for about 5 mins then re try the 
compression test.

Those comp figures are very low, in fact by putting oil in the cylinders you 
would have raised the compression.
If i were to buy a motor with that sort of compresion from a wrecker, i 
would consider that motor as stuffed and walk away, or buy it to  rebuild 
the whole motor.

Keep us posted

Jim
