Re: Just bought my first DSM and having a bunch of problems

Just my opinion, but a compression test is a great thing to do right off the bat. It's free to do (as long as your or someone you know has a tester). I'd like to know up front if there is a bigger issue. I personally wouldn't want to swap out all the antifreeze and oil with new stuff, then do a compression test and find out the head has to come off and I have to drain out all the new stuff I put in.


I'm not sure where Lakeville is, but if you're ever up around Blaine, stop by I have a couple compression testers.
