So... Compression test results are not to happy.

Cylinders 1,2,3,4,6 all have at least 160 psi. Cold startup, no oil added. Cylinder 5 only got to around 115 psi with 1 cap full of oil added to it. They all build compression, but I have a weak cylinder.

Still shouldn't stop it from starting though. Thinking its about time to give up on the car. lol
