    New To Me Engine, Won't Start

    I am always impressed here (sadly) maybe I'll be wrong The test is suspect because the cylinders are all equal??????????????? "Pressures are: 1-240 3-240 5-220 2-200 4-190 6-210" Um, pressure should be 10% variation highest to lowest... (I will admit this is for gas but I would assume diesel...

I don't know that seems VERY unlikely... the other thing to account for is why is the compression so low... this may not be a rebuildable core, every cylinder around 200psi? Again unless it was washed... can't...

Not sure what "cold cranking" is when doing a compression test... unless you washed out the cylinders is what you are trying to say? Put a few drops of oil in each one and retest... but...
