Can I get some opinions on these wet/dry compression figures? :)

[u mad?]

Just remember, if you're letting your car warm up by ideling for 20 minutes, that means only the engine will be warmed up. Gearbox/diff need time to warm up as well.


Another thing to consider re your oil consumption is you PCV.

20 mins of idling could use the same fuel as 10 mins of normal traffic driving. Do that 10 times a week and that's like 40-50kms off the range of a tank.

I think this warming up business needs to be in a different thread.. lol

U are right , by gosh !

Back on topic.

Have you considered a leak down test to find exactly where there is , if at all there is a compression leak ?

I did think about that but I dont have the equipment to perform one.

although after talking to adrian I think it should be fine, I think it's just the valve guides that have wear on them. so once I do the rebuild it should improve.
