I picked up a B16A2 a couple of weeks ago that has some engine problems ( very loud ticking noise sounds as if its coming from the head but can't be to certain), so i decided to do a Compression test to see if there is a potential problem in the bottom end before taking the head apart.
Cylinder 1: 210 Psi
Cylinder 2: 165 Psi
Cylinder 3: 160 Psi
Cylinder 4: 195 Psi
I then did a second test where i added a Teaspoon of oil to each cylinder
Cylinder 1: 210 Psi
Cylinder 2: 190 Psi
Cylinder 3: 210 Psi
Cylinder 4: 215 Psi
With the first compression test prior to adding a teaspoon of oil, cylinder 2 and 3 are more than 10% below cylinder 1 and 4, does anyone have any suggestions or advice
The engine also hasn't been used for say 3-5 years and i also let the car warm up before i started the compression test ?
