Greg, no disrespect intended for sure. Exactly how do you think I figured out how the compression tester's valve works? The first one I had was used and with no instructions. Thought it was broken. Went to put it away and hit that little brass button hidden under the neck of the gauge, and "PSSST ..." the gauge returned to zero!🤔 Don't be so hard on yourself, you're doing just fine!. We've all been there and worse,.....in my case, a LOT worse. Plenty of scars and a couple bits of missing flesh to show for it. Guess I should be thankful to have survived 7 decades! Wouldn't trade any of it including those most embarrassing moments for a million bucks. You're doing better than most, keep at it, success awaits only those who keep on keepin' on. -

Alien10, Dude, I'm not blonde, but I never, never. Never thought or realized THERE IS NO WAY on GODS GREEN EARTH a cylinder would keep the pressure. My my my, I should hang up my tools, and just take up knitting. Any leaking has to come from the Schrader valves in the compression tester hose. I'm just doing a leak down test on the hose connection and hardware. Alien10, thanks for explaining this. Making me realize what I was doing wasn't what I thought I was doing. Man, do I feel dumb. Some people shouldn't own tools. LOL guess I'm one. I'm a little (lot) embarrassed. But maybe others will learn from my mistake. I'm still going to jack this beast up in the air and try the bleeding thing again. -

TEMU....My sister ordered what appeared to be a TONKA size dump truck for her great grandson..I warned her but to no avail.. What arrived was a Hot Wheels size toy. NO RETURNS🥶 -
I might be misinterpreting the compression test results you've posted. Wouldn't be the first thing I've screwed up this morning! But, most if not all compression testers have a one way valve. That is to record the highest compression pressures it sees during the test. It will leave the gauge at that highest level, even it there is no compression left in the engine's cylinder after it stops cranking, until the release valve is pushed to release it back to zero. I'm thinking that your 130 and 125 pressure readings, after being left for 15 to 20 minutes are just the pressure captured and retained by the gauge and hose? Reason is I've never seen an engine cylinder that will retain 125 lbs of compression more than a dozen seconds as those peak pressures bleed down fairly rapidly through the rings. Those are by no means anywhere near a perfect seal. Your last results would seem to show a bubble was left in the system that you have now released. Great detective work! Maybe its time to just run the machine as you normally would paying attention to the temperature, coolant level and its appearance, and of course importantly, the oil level and its appearance. If you have a head gasket issue, it will soon show up in the coolant or oil being compromised.
