wow been a long time since i got my hands on a starlet, cant run the gt4 now petrol is too expensive lol, but because i love the bov sound i got a ep82 again :haha:
only problem is cylinder 4 compression was low, i guessed it would be the piston ringland as i have had this problem few years ago with both starlets as there is a breather filter on the rocker cover and its letting out oil, (similair to catch can)
only problem is i took off the the sump, got the piston out (no.4) but it seems fine? no cracks or anything, could it be the head? can that be causing oil to get up to the blow by, maybe seals or valves?
since head is off was thinking of getting it tested, this is confusing as before in the past when oil was coming through the blow by it usually resulted in piston ringland failure?
compressin test results:
155, 160, 150, 100
no.4 is low
any help much appreciated
