wtf does this mean? I was pretty happy with the numbers, I thought they would actually be quite a bit lower. But I don't like how they differ so much across the board. I didn't try a wet test, probably should have.

FYI: I was told that I'm burning oil. I consume a little bit but I never saw a cloud back there. Only when I 'get on it' would there be a little puff of blue smoke I was told.

What is the next step? A buddy has a true leakdown tester, I might try that to be able to better tell whether it's a bottom end issue or a head issue.

another FYI: I have a good amount of oil leaking out of the Crankcase ventilation tube/PCV filter, and the PCV was just replaced about 9 months ago, could that mean I have a large amount of blowby?

Yes, I am a noob in need of some advice :thumbsup

oh yeah, doesn't look like there is coolant in the oil at all either

that's not a terribly large difference, i would not worry about it.
basically ya got one really good cylinder and one that is alright, and two that are good.

yeah but what about the burning oil? would you worry about that? What else could it be? head issues? How could I test that?

haha.. my bad.. i didn't even really read your post.. just posting about the numbers..

about burning oil.. don't know what to tell you.. lots of 420a people say not to worry about it and it's 'normal' but i always argue back that NO 4-stroke engine is suppose to burn oil.
so.. eff.. guess it depends on who ya talk to.
