So my car has always had a random misfire light, and has been making clacking noises. I then decided to do a compression test just to see whats going on.

now i dont know which is Bank 1 and which is Bank 2 so i will say drivers side and passengers side for now.

Results:

95______65
110______70
105______90
110______45
. Front


(all cylinders were measured in PSI)

you can clearly see we have an issue on the drivers side bank

any suggestions as to what i should do next?

much thanks in advance.

 

Look up how to do a "wet" compression test. That will tell you if it is more likely rings, valves, or head gasket when compared to the dry readings.

Look at your oil for the tell tale milkshake/mayonaise that is indicative of a head gasket failure. Also look for oil in the coolant, as well as performing a coolant test.

 

Do you have a nikasil lined engine?
Check if a VVT is operating correctly on a drivers side bank
Check valve lash on a drivers side
Do a leakdown test and post a results - it will show what's the cause of the problem with compression - valvetrain, cracked cyl.head, bad head gasket or rings/liners.

 

Plums no oil in Coolant Res and no Coolant in Oil pan

Moscow how do i perform any of the tests you listed?

 

dont nikisil and non nikisil have different colored stickers on the engines? if so ill take a look in the morning, i doubt i will be able to see anything at night

 

You need a leakdown tester to perform the test.
You'll need to set each cylinder in TDC, with valves closed and blow a comperssed air into the cylinder via spark plug hole. Air may escape a cylinder via:
-valves (hissing sound from exhaust or intake)
-piston rings (hissing sound from the oil filler or dipstick)
-blown headgasket (sound from the other cylinder or coolant tank)
