I just got my car dyno tuned and they found that number 1 cylinder is down on compression, it's around 160psi and the rest between 210 - 220 psi. The guy said it's prolly a cracked piston ring, but i also had a thought that it might have somethig to do with the cam been installed incorrectly and it might have burnt a valve or something like that. Just thought i'd ask cause someone cause they might have had the same problem. By the way it's a g180 bored to 2ltr, 1600 head, and 30/70 cam. Motor rebuilt about 30,000k's ago, cam installed about 5,000k's ago.

Cheers
