I have a 5.8 liter Ford engine in a 1995 Four Winns (22'). I just did a compression check and 6 of the 8 cylinders are in the 130-140 psi range. Two of them are low, one at 75 psi and the other at 90 psi. Both are center cylinders, but not next to each other (one on each bank).
Are there known issues with this motor that could make my root cause investigation easier, or could it be anything (rings, valves, etc.)?
I squirted some 50 weight oil in the two low cylinders. The 90 psi cylinder did not increase. The 75 psi cylinder increased by about 15 psi.
Thanks.
Bill
