my cylinder compression is low , what you think could be??
I was cheking the compression on the cylinders and a few ones are only putting 30 pds , the car runs good no shake , no weird sound, drive like a dream . You think could be the head gaskets ???
P.s the car is not overheating

are you losing coolant? does your oil look like a chocolate milk shake? how many miles are on your car? what where the others putting out? most usefull is if you could give us what # cyl it is and what the pressure, did you do it on a cold engine or warm?
it could be a number of things,
try putting some oil in the cyl that gave you low #'s and try it again, if they are better your rings are toast

You should crank the engine until the guage reading stops climbing. An engine in good shape usually takes 3-4 compression strokes to max out. The trick is to set the guage up so you can see it while cranking each time.
