I have a 97 vs acclaim. It got hot and when sorting it out found that the compression on number 3 piston was 2/3 of the reading on the other five.
Took the car to Holden and a few other mechanics, had it on a computer and they all agree the compression is down on the 3 pot. Been tested for a faulty head gasket with compressed air in cylinder by holden. Have previously tested the radiator and the dye came up showing a leak into the cooling system. used copper seal on it and now after all this I am no closer to working out why the compression is down in one pot. Thought of occasional sticky rings. Thought maybe copper seal has "fixed " the leak but it still does not explain the difference as comopression remains the same. Valves have been checked with air test by holden. Car runs fine. Any Ideas on this one would be greatly appreciated
