I posted earlier about oil coming out of the cyliner spark plug hole. For the ones who responded, my compression is almost 140 on each cylinder. New plugs in now, am going out later today to test agin. Any other ideas why or where the oil could be coming from? An old Chrysler mechanic told me it was a cracked ring. With 137 on compression, I feel that may not be the case.<br /><br />I believe this is a 1975. Let me know if I'm right or not. This was my grandad's. For him, I'd like to keep her running. <br /><br />Model #: 557HG<br />Serial#: 5724<br /><br />Thanks for all the help!
