Re: My compression results
a leak down is when you put pressurized air in the cylinders. then listen for the leak. then depending where the leak is tells you what to check first

Re: My compression results
im sure there has to be some ring damage. that'd probably be a cheaper fix then the head. you compression should be around 200ish.

I was under the impression that it would be cheaper and easier to just replace the head.

Re: My compression results
I would think youd have to have like no rings for compression that bad, so I would have to agree in saying, wtf? You must have one messed up set of valves, possibly in addition to the rings.

Re: My compression results
well a used dx head will probably go for extremly cheap. you can also try autohausaz.com for rings and bearings
