compression test with oil

[stephen44]

This is probably a dumb question - but here goes.

If my 352 has 140 Psi in 7 cylinders and 90 in the last that goes up to 137 with oil. what will that do to everyday running ?

what will i see or feel ?

You will most likely notice a skip on that one cylinder.

It's got to do with the rings.

If you've got a broken ring, and continue to drive it, the ring could cause significant damage to the cylinder wall.
