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

Poured about a table spoon down #1, cranked it over a few times by hand
(found TDC twice) and tested again. Still I'm hearing the air.

I should not be hearing air, right? It sounds like I'm filling a tank with
air.

Just to let you know, I'm finding the compression stroke by sticking my
finger in the spark plug hole and turning the crank. When I feel pressure
against my finger then I know I'm on the compression stroke and then look
for the timing mark to reach TCD or just before.

Yes, you hear lots of air, but as I remember I was able to change
the seal I'm working on before the compressor starts.

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

So, am I worrying about nothing then? Just because I'm hearing air and
feeling air out the pcv valve hose then this is ok. In other words, the
cylinder should not completely contain the air. This is normal? I'm
freaking and thinking all the rings are bad because I hear air. Please
correct me.

Thanks,

Bill
