No Compression in Cylinder No. 4 (blown engine?)

No compression in cylinder #4! This isn’t good...Join me for a quick tutorial on using a compression tester on a Subaru engine and I'll fire up this engine to see how well it actually runs with near zero compression in cylinder #4. In the second half of the video, I discuss THREE fundamental ways an internal combustion engine can loose compression and what the next steps are for my EJ205 2.0L turbo engine.

This video is part of a "Build Series" (see "Playlists" tab for all videos) for my 1998 Rally Blue Pearl RSTi Coupe (Impreza 2.5RS swapped with a EJ205 turbo engine), which is 1 of only 720 sold in the USDM for 1998. This RSTi Build has come a long way and includes a full archive of videos documenting how to: (1) Pull a EJ-series turbo engine, (2) Replace the head gaskets, (3) Add key upgrades to increase long-term reliability, and (4) Restore the interior to OEM specifications.
