just did a leak down test on the vr6,only tried it on no.1 cylinder,and the liquid i used pretty much came out of the sump plug hole in a steady flow...looks like ill need a new engine :roll: :cry:

just wondering mate, damn shame bout the engine then... Time for a 3.1 conversion me thinks

Thinners is far thinner than water and would more easily run past the rings.

Put new rings in, no big deal, you don't even need to take the engine out the car!

Did you check all the cylinders for comparison or just number 1?

Can't state for sure that bore is bad then. Do the others. Also, a hot engine will be plenty different to a cold one.
