Hello guys, I did some trading and ended up with a Chrysler 20hp model 2001 serial 3886. The top piston has little or no compression even though the fella told me it ran GREAT when he parked it 5 yrs ago. Hoping that the rings are stuck I poured 30 wt. oil in each cyl. to maybe break the rings loose if that is in fact the issue. My question is- is there any way to tell for sure if it is a head gasket or other issue without breaking the motor down?
