i did a compression test today on my 95 gsr and there was no compression in the second cylinder...we did the cylinder to the far right first...a little bit of white smoke came out and then no more...compression came out of the rest too...results came in 190,200,210 but nothing for the cyl second to the far left one. wat could be wrong with it?? any ideas? and how to fix. im not burning oil..car still runs normally....somebody help!

Perfectionist

If you got no compression reading and the gauge was properly seated, your #2 cylinder is dead and the car can't be "running normally". If you really don't have any compression in the #2 cylinder, it could be a bad valve, really bad rings, or a hole in the piston.

gauge was properly seated...did it about 4 more times just to recheck and make sure....when i drive my car there seems nothing to be wrong with it...i mean if there is no compression in cyl#2 couldn't i be able to feel a difference in power? everything seems straight...i wonder wat it could be and how much it would cost me if it was the valve

If you have no compression in 1 cylinder, you will notice it. your car will probably stall out during idle or have a rough idle. Or it'll be hard to pull from 1st gear (feels very weak).

yea thast wat i thought...but it feels the same...just no reading on cyl#2...it goes up to like 10 or so...weird i wonder wat it could be...oh btw..its a naturally aspirated integra so i wouldn't be so concerned about detonation or anything like that..pretty much stock engine besides intake
