So I did a compression check on all cylinders after I bought the car rather than before. Smart right? Anyway all checked out above 150psi and in spec except for number four which was at 70psi. I then did a wet check where I added oil to the cylinder and it jumped to 210psi.
So this means rings right? Any chance it is just a head gasket? And what are my next steps? Do I need to do a leak down test or is this conclusive enough?
Assuming it is the rings is there a way to fix this cylinder without pulling the engine? Like push out just this cylinder with engine in the car?
Thoughts?
