So why the snark?
The op posted the numbers, so I gave my opinion on what they mean if they are accurate.  |
Without any other knowledge of how the compression test was performed, IMO, the numbers are as good as no numbers at all. Someone recently posted that his compression test showed zero on 5 cylinders, but the next day his car was running beautifully. An extreme example, but I think you get the point.
I meant no insult to you personally, and it was poor judgement on my part to quote your post to make my point. Perhaps you didn't note that I agreed with your opinion regarding the numbers, and I agree with what you've written above. What we can offer here in response to questions like this one are cautions. There have been some good points made in that respect.
