Compression test oil ?

[makeitfit]

Hi guys, we're working on the Pearl again. Massive blow by issues . Compression test half done but I'd like to know what kind of oil to use for the wet test, and approx how much ?
Thankyouplease

I used a couple of cap fulls of clean engine oil in each cylinder.

Is it the LPG that's killed it?

 

[makeitfit]

That's possible but more likely over boosted , over fuelled and over enthusiastically driven
Anyway, we'll soon find out . Did wet comp test tonight. Not good. No1 and 4 showed a 60% ish rise when oiled. The other 2 only about 20% ish.
So engine out and rebore me thinks.

Not worth just chucking a new one at it Pete or have you altered the original beyond that option?

Pete if you have abused it that much then I think you should be looking at another engine, the big ends and mains are likely to be shot as well, Rick

Got an engine here Pete, 79k runs as it should :thumb2

Bottom end sounds fine and dandy. Excellent oil pressure.
It had new big end shells .
It's got to come out regardless, so initially we'll pop the head off and have a butchers.
Once there , a plan of action will follow.
Hold that engine

I can hold it until the 22nd November :thumb2 If it's not gone by then it's going to Portugal

At least it'll have a tan.
