I only have a complression tester but I'll try and figure out how to use it tonight

remove plugs, kill power to the ecu and dist, turn over engine (using the starter) until guage on compression tester stops moving.

I nwever disconect the ecu

Re: OIL In Cyl #3 - SparkPlugs Coverred - Smokes A Little, Need Diagnosis
 

I do it with the engine somewhat warm still for best results.

do it cold it will show a grater loss

Compression Test Results - 130 - 130 - 130 - 130
Damn that made me smile seeing those numbers , whether they mean something or not

I really would like to know how oil is getting all over my dam spark plug though

Re: OIL In Cyl #3 - SparkPlugs Coverred - Smokes A Little, Need Diagnosis
 

130, thats really really low, are you doing the lest with @ WOT? make sure you do it at WOT and make sure you don't have your injectors praying.

ITs an A6 with vitara pistons, yes the numbers will be low

I do think my injecotrs were spraying though, kinda smelt like fuel. All I did was pull the plugs and remove the ecu chip form my ecu, how do you disable them?

Well I went out for a drive, I noticed that the car seems to smoke when the oil pressure is higher.... maybe that would be obvious?

But, like I said, it only smokes on hard decel and idle, when the car warmed up and idle pressure was under 25psi (around 23) the car didnt smoke at all, I did quite a few stops frequently just to check it out, didnt smoke once.

Maybe I should just lower my oil pressure significantly for a temp fix until winter when I can tear the motor apart? Wonder what I could do to get the pressure way day, if its feasible

take a grinder to your rod bearings
