Hey guys,
I was posting about my civic not running and I've reached a dead end. After testing the compression I got 150-150-0-75, so I took the head off and the pistons and everything looked fine and I had a sticky valve so I got the head checked out and everything taken care of with it. Put everything back together and I still have no compression which I would assume I have bad compression rings. I really don't know where to go from here aside from just getting a different block or if its even worth trying to change the rings myself. I really really need to get it running and could use some guidance here =/

theres bad compression and theres 0 in a cylinder.....thats either a massively screwed ring or you need to leakdown test your block as that sounds like a cracked cylinder sleeve. only thing is that requires you to rip the motor completely apart... but 0? damn homie

You really need to try a wet test and see if the compression jumps a lot. If so then it is your rings

pour oil into each cylinder right before you do the compression test on it
