Re: Project: 1966 Stepside LWB

So, I got motivated today and got my truck registered and titled. I got hit with a $100 penalty for not having registered the truck within 15 days of purchasing. $250 down the hole, but the good thing is that I have collectors plates on the way, so I won't have to pay registration again.

I also went and got me a compression tester. I tested each cylinder and below are the results:

1- 0PSI
2- 145PSI
3- 0PSI
4- 90PSI
5- 160PSI
6- 150PSI

So, I know which cylinders are the problem children. What should be my next steps? I am thinking that if I drizzle some gear oil in there, it should seal up the rings and I can check and see if the valves are problematic as well. Anything else I should be doing that I'm not?
