Changing valve seals - putting air into cylinder - hear air leaking - help
 

I have my compressor and I placed the piston at just before TDC on the
compression stroke. I put my air adaptor in the spark plug hole and applied
air and I'm hearing leaking. I tried another cylinder and I'm hearing
leaking. The air is only at about 40 psi cuz I haven't gotten to crank the
compressor up again yet.

Previously I took the engine/jeep to a mechanic who told me I had 150 psi
across all cylinders. Is there something wrong with this picture? If I
have that good of compression per cylinder should it not be leaking when I
apply air from the compressor?

Is it possible I have a blown head gasket across all cylinders? Why do I
think that. I'm burning oil and it appears to happen when I'm at idle for a
few minutes and then I press on the gas. This indicates or points to, I've
learned, the valve seals which I why I'm going about changing them. Could a
blown head gasket across all cylinders produce the same effect?

Thanks for any response and help.

Re: Changing valve seals - putting air into cylinder - hear air leaking - help
 

Ok, I pluged all the other cylinders with spark plugs and am working with #1
cylinder. I hear the air leaking but cannot determine where it's leaking
to. I don't feel anything at the tail pipe. I don't see bubbles in the
radiator water. I can't feel anything at the dip stick. The only thing I
haven't looked at yet is the intake. The only thing I know of that is.

I'm going to look at that now.

Maybe my valves are stuck open? If that were true I should be able to feel
it somewhere, either intake or exhaust, yes?

Well I put my valve cover back on, pluged all the spark plug holes, and
covered the holes in my valve cover. I'm hearing/feeling air though the pcv
valve. This is due to rings, yes?

Thanks,

Bill

probably! squirt some oil into the cylinder and turn the engine over a few
turns (can be done by hand if necessary).
