Ha! I'm not computing either, matter of fact royally confused and frustrated. I have been told by several people that WD40 leaves a sticky residue. I do not know!. I DO KNOW it tried to start with ether, then gas but backfired both times so at that time I must have had compression of some amount. It won't run at 30 advanced so that is why it backfired, the dizzy was not exactly where it was removed. Did the explosion force the sticky carbon covered rings into the grooves? Don't know. Honestly I also do not know if all cylinders are the same just the 3 I checked. Just too cold to work out there today.so how did the logic jump occur that it was the rings or wd 40 giving you 0 compression?
I'm missing something.. getting a "does not compute" in my head.
Like I said previously mechanic here said he has seen this MANY times and needs a piston soak down the ole spark hole. I have never run into this before but normally am able to change head gaskets button her up and get her started within a couple of hours. No biggie!
