[Amc-list] Update on compression problem 66 Ambo



Tom thank you so much for your input!  I didn't have any trans fluid handy so I sprayed a lot of wd40 in the intake and turned crank by hand many times today.  When the little wife got home had her crank engine for me; and upon closer inspection noticed all rockers moving what appeared to be normal EXCEPT # 6...one rocker was moving at a "delayed" pace; not crisp movement...looked like it was in suspension the whole time it was moving...not closing all the way and not really opening all the way.  Did another compression test and found all cylinders back up again except # 6.  Dont know why the other 2 ( #4 and #5) came back up; but they did and they were at dead zero before.  
  I've got a few feedback that suggested trans fluid down carb...sea foam down carb..and even brake fluid mixed with gas down carb; all followed by hand cranking multiple times followed by attempted start and if engine starts to follow up by same fluids down carb while running at mid rpm's.  One stated after that to "drown/stall" the engine with sea foam let sit then start and blow it out with the engine again.
  Any thoughts on any of thes suggestions?
  Thanks again Tom in advance....and thanx once again to Dave Stohler...I read a lot of posts from both of you often...guys like you keep guys like us going.
