Hey Y'all,
I have a 1990 B2 with the 2.9L engine that I just purchased. I just did a compression test and all the cylinders were around 135 lbs. Except cylinder 5 which was at 155. This cylinders spark plug was also more covered in carbon and there was some wet oil on the threads and body of the plug. Pictures attached. I guess I have to do a leakdown test now? Is this something to be especially concerned about? It is only in this one cylinder. The engine has about 150,000 on it, and I would like to tune it up if it's worth it. Thanks for the help!
