Low/no compression on rebuilt engine
So I’ve been trying to diagnose why my freshly built engine is having trouble starting. After lots of issues, I’ve managed to get spark and fuel, so the last thing to do was compression test the engine. Cylinder #1 was 75psi #2 was 25psi #3 was 30psi #4 was 40psi. What could be causing this low compression? I can’t even get the engine to start, it cranks and make slight splutter noises as though it’s going to start but won’t fire up.
Any ideas on how to diagnose the issue would be much appreciated.
The car has been off the road now for 2 years as 3 months, and I just wanna get her fired up!
This is my first engine install and so far everything that could have gone wrong already has happened and been sorted 😂😂. I just have no luck with my S14
