A compression test on my LA showed 65 psi on one cylinder and 12 on the other. I took the head off and had a guy lap and adjust the valves. The compression test is now showing 65/42. I don't know the condition of the rings and am pretty sure this engine hasn't run in at least 20 years.
Questions: Will this engine run with an 18 psi difference between the cylinders? Short of rebuilding the engine, is there anything I can do to improve the compression, ie: Squirt or spray something in the spark plug hole to help seal things up?
