Low compression in Charleston
 
Been awhile, but my rebuild is done. RPMs drop and engine wants to jump out of the bay. No RX mechanics in the area anymore. Took it locally
in Goose Creek and they said it has very low compression. I don't disagree, but need to see how they tested it. Does anyone have a compression tester in the
area? I've had a great run with it (16 years). Might just look to sell as is. Awesome shape.

it's not the most accurate, but you can get a feel for the overall health with a standard compression tester. You can rent from from oreilly, autozone, advance, etc.

or just pull the plugs one rotor at a time and listen for even pulses
