Yep..so true Glen.. No argument there..I shot some light oil in 3 last time just to see if it helped...No brainer when the oil popped out of 5 ...Duh..sum biotch..!! I used to be a MATCO distributor so I know all about tools...
I have a old Fox Valley engine analizer that does cylinder balance test...we used to call it the scope in a box...might try it just for chits sake..
Oh..comp test didn't show any catastrophic problems..
