What Is the bare Min. compression for a 96 power stroke Im checking out a used engine before I go to the expence to do a install and I have Cyl.1-450 Cyl.3-450 Cyl.5-225 Cyl.7-300 Cyl.2-450 Cyl.4-450 Cyl.6-400 Cyl.8-425
Is cyl 5 and 7 going to make it or Does it need help?
I put a little bit of oil in cyl.5&7 and i'll try again tomorrow Maby the rings are stuck from sitting.

Id try it again and then post the results.

IIRC 5 and 7 are the ones that get "dusted" first.

Dust gets in from bad air filtration. Wears the rings and cylinder walls requiring a rebuild.

I understand that I just wonder why #5&7 is first to go
