Compression
At home having never done a compression test. I got 150 on all but the back it was 180. This was through the glow plug holes.
I did not trust this, so had it done at a local shop
They got 135 on most and 150 on one.
I dont know if they actually did the test though.
When I picked the car up I tried to start it just to see if it would go.
It almost started. It will get to the point the engine is shaking along like its running and looks like if you were to quit cranking it would continue to run but then it does not.
It occured to me that if this test was done though my injector holes that the injection system would need to be re primed afterward. I got charged for an hour of labor
During that time they did a compression test, reprimed my fuel system and checked the valve adjustment.
I just dont know if I buy that.
I also got the feeling they regarded the car as antique junk and it was easiest to tell me its "BROKE"
I will try to do another compression test and post those numbers.
