k.y.l.e. wrote:Hey buddy sounds like you getting compression in your sump wich is due to piston ring issue maybe piston rings worn out and piston ring end gap is to big and compression is escaping into your sump, also check the pcv valve. A bad valve causes this.hope this helps buddy [smilie=200sx_200sx.gif]
