Piston pressure numbers help
 
Hi guys,
I did a engine pressure test and this is the finding.

Do you guys think this is acceptable. The dealership said it is OK ?

Thanks Guys

The two in the 150s are weak.

Hi Billy,
What do you recommend. Piston ring change?
Aftermarket piston .
I have no clue what to do
:)

That's a pretty big variance between top and low pressures. Outside of acceptable range I would think.

So guys your recommendation
I have the engine out aside

You need to disassemble unfortunately. The heads have to be pulled and the pan dropped and the pistons pulled. Could be ring failure, ringland failure, or something else entirely..

I would say that the ring lands are broken. Wiseco makes a drop in piston set for the LT1. I pull the motor to do this job.
