Default comp

The compresssion test does not test the stem seals, it can indicate if the valves are not sealing well in the head valve seats. The stem seals are for oil control. If you have a low comp reading squirt some oil down the plug hole and repeat test if the reading improves it indicates ring / bore wear which as previously stated means rebuild time.
