boss was at work yesterday so once again I couldn't get compression test done yet. I hate waiting, but a friend of mine said compression test could be fine even if I have messed up rings and only a cracked piston would cause bad compression. Is this true? Another person said theres a chance all I need is a valve job. Either way Im sure I need a rebuild but when I do finally get compression test done and lets say it turns out good (whcih I doubt), could still be my rings?

how do you run a compression test?

As said before, your rings are most likely ok. It is the ringlands that crack, which is the piston. The compression test will help and is always a good start.

On the steps to do one, I believe there are instructions on either vfaq.com or on Corbins site or somewhere. I will have to look for sure as I forget. It is pretty easy though.
