I purchased the truck two weeks ago pretty much sight-unseen for $1200. It's a 1990 SR5 V6 with 163,000 miles. I checked the compression thsi weekend before investing any more $$ into the truck. Here are the partial results...it was raining like a bitch and 40 degrees so the fun wore off really quick.
Cylinder #2 = 130 psi
Cylinder #4 = 150 psi (first cylinder checked...)
Cylinder #6 = 30 psi
Cylinder #3 = 0 psi
I also noticed oil (more than just a sheen) on the end of the cylinder adapter for the compression test set-up following removal from the spark plug port.
So now I thinking maybe it's time to just junk this truck after going after the looser PO which outright lied about all the loving care and maintenance the vehicle had received. I did check the toyota repair history and the HG was done at 99k.
Any ideas ?
