Recently did a compression check on my engine and my numbers came up to
200,190,150,200
The car seems to have lost some power also, it doesnt smoke at all but There is a misfire puf every now and then... any suggestion as to what the problem may be???

 

Could be a multitude of things. More information would be helpful!!

 

Doesnt burn much oil, idles rough at times, dies at stops, leakdown test indicated a leak through the exhaust on cylinder 3

 

There's definitely something wrong with cylinder 3. Usually +/-15-20 is acceptable. Not sure what may have caused it, but that's no bueno.

 

Could it be that it needs adjusting?

 

20% difference between the highest cylinder and lowest cylinder is the most you want. You have 25%. Coming from the exhaust means you have defective exhaust valves. They could be burnt exhaust valves (specifically cyl 3) or possibly worn springs (once again cyl 3)

 

How can you tell if the valve is burnt or the spring is worn?

 

Pulling the head off and inspecting them. More likely cause would be burnt valve

 

Damn that means i gotta park my car for a few days haha

 

Might be bent valves? Was the car ever overreved?
