Thanks Frank and Go Fast Sandman. What do you mean by "spin the engine with the plugs out"...Not sure how to do that?

Thr spark plugs removed and turn over the motor to evacuate the liquid as it will not compress and "hydraulic "the motor. Trim down for this.

Have you tried this yet? We'd love to hear that everything came free and you're up and running.

I did spray the cylinder with the PowerTune...It's been sitting since Sunday. I plan to run it this afternoon and check the compression again...Keeping my fingers crossed. I will let you know what happens. Again, thanks for the info!

I would spray all the cylinders! Even compression across the board is what you want. I`ve only been a lucky owner for a year and have learned much from this site. That`s what it`s all about. Learn - share. Rinse and repeat as necessary.

Thx to all who make the sacrifice on this glorious Memorial Day,
GFS
