Compression test results 1.8 l4 LWE

Go to a local u pull an pull an engine. 2011-2014/15. Cruze.... 2010-2016 sonic. Possibly the trax but thinking it's 1.4t specific.



Hard to say, what conditions has this car gone through? Having 3 cylinders down it could be a simple head swap, or a full rebuild.

I'm surprised the car even starts.

1 cylinder yes.
2 cylinders good luck
3 cylinders no way.

Try some thick oil in the 3 dead cylinders and see if it comes up.

I'm also wondering if your gauge quit working after the first cylinder.

The gauge is literally new out of the box. Also tested it 3 times on each cylinder cause i refused to believe what I was seeing. They crazy part is I had to drive it today and I went 30 miles to my destination and the car did not misfire or do anything wrong the whole trip…. I’m so **** confused.

I am trying to find a head but I have only found one rebuilt one that comes with a full rebuild kit for 1700 I’m hoping when I take the head off that the pistons are still okay so I canjust put the new head on and save a thousand
