Tom, did you have the engine hot with the throttle wide open for that compression test ?Checked compression. 88 psi. What should it be?
Since the initial reading is essentially 1/2 of expected there are preliminary reasons to be concerned. If I were doing this, I would recommend the engine be warm and be sure you are using a high quality tester. At this point, I would do a leak down test as well. The leak down might give you additional information valve sealing and head gasket.Checked compression. 88 psi. What should it be?
What are you wanting to accomplish above and beyond draining the oil? Is the the oil milky or have signs of metal shavings?OK Motor was cold. Had already drained the oil so I just turned it over with starter. Also had over a pint of oil in crankcase. Is there any way to flush the old oil out of motor. Yes I let it go way to long. Thanks for all the help. Keep it coming and I will keep ya'll updated.

If you are wanting to get the oil out of the block then you have options and opinions. 1) mix 1/2 marvel mystery oil and 1/2 motor oil, run a bit and drain, can be repeated a time or two usually done so when water entered the engine or 2) diesel (don't run, turn over) and drain blow out with air or 3) X (commercially available products for this purpose). As mentioned, you will see many different options available to accomplish a engine clean out procedure.No, will try that this afternoon if I get time. Will post later. Thanks
