A quick easy way to "check out" an engine by using a compression tester is to test all 8 cylinders,write down the readings,then one by one,give each cylinder a couple of squirts of oil and re-test,if the reading goes up,your rings are not sealing all they can,if the reading stays the same (low),then your valves are not sealing all they can.........
