I have 20psi compression in cylinder number 2 :lol:

I am now running on 5 cylinders, but as number 2 does still fire still I call it 5 and 1/2 cylinders and the car does go pretty darn well depsite all this, although I have everything adjusted wrong enough to compensate *sigh*

So I am looking for a replacement head (I am in Mlebourne) *help* :cry:

I highly doubt its rings, as all other cylinders are at around 140+psi which is normal.

Yeah, probably right, have you done a wet and dry compression test? this definetly rules out rings, stick some oil in there after dry test, if compression goes up, its rings.

How much oil do I put in down the plug hole ?

I will also add test was done with all plugs removed to elimante gasket blown between cylinders.

My number 1 cylinder has been at about 80 psi since I've had the car, while the rest are good.
Meh, it's all good 8-)

Bugger all, you only want enough to seal around the rings, so 30 ml at most, dont mattewr if to much goes in, will blow out any way.
