compression test results, can't find info on what it should be
#1
Been having a problem with the engine idling very rough when it is fully warmed up. It is also not as fast as it should be. I've been getting a lot of blow by and the crank case has been getting pressurized when I go into boost.
I checked the compression, these are the results from the drivers side. This is the max value I got after 3 compressions
1: 125 psi
3: 100 psi
5: 100 psi
7: 120 psi
I added oil to cylinder 3 and on the 3rd compression it reached about 160 psi. So I am to suspect most of my rings are done. Cylinder 3 and 5 also had oil on the spark plug.
Do all these numbers seem very bad?
