How do you check to make sure the rings are bad? What are some tell tale signs?
My buddy, had his balance shafts removed and afterwards he wasnt getting any oil pressure. He didnt drive it at all, it just stayed at idle. In trying to diagnose whether he was getting oil pressure the car just shut off. The oil pump gear had seized.
So he had it towed to my house, I pulled the oil pump housing off and freed up the gear. now after putting it all back together. the car wont start.
Getting Spark, timing, Fuel. The problem is i am getting very little compression. Like 25-30. Any ideas or quick fixes.
