one of my cylinders has 65 pssi compression, wat do i do now? Swap the motor? buy an oem piston, rod, and rings? wat would some of u guys do?

 

re hone

new rings for all 4

done

 

Are you sure it's a ring? It could be a burned/bent valve as well.

 

Have a shop perform a leak down test to find out where the leak is coming from. Replacing a valve is a bit easier than replacing rings (and cheaper).

I would call 1-800-ABC-DEFG to learn how to spell "what". Hooked on phonics works for me!!

jk. Seriously though get a leakdown test like that last guy said. It'll help let you know what specifically is causing the problem.

Very likely it could be a valve problem. If it is a bent valve, the piston could be damaged too.

 

leakdown will tell you

you should do all four pistons.. besides, i don't think you can buy rings for just one piston.. better buy after market forge pistons and rings!! although, it ain't cheap..

 

im short on $$$$ im really tempted to just replace the one piston, will this hurt my performance?? wat if i donnt rehone??

 

wait what kinda motor is it? if it's a single i'd say just buy like a longblock for dirty cheap and swap all the good parts onto it.

he still spells it the same way, haha. i dont think you should buy a new block, isnt that more expensive than rehoneing or replacing a valve. if you fix it right, it will be just as good as before
