I honestly don't know, but it didn't hurt to retime it in case it was.
I was in such a hurry that i didn't even check if it was off and just retimed it. In the end, it wasn't the timing that caused my low compression on 2-3 cylinders but the fact that the motor sat for a while. I did the leak down and compression right after putting the cover back on and they were still at 100 PSI/ 80% leak down. I got a tip from a friend here to start the motor for a few minutes and recheck the leakdown/compression. He said that some engines that have sat get stuck piston rings. Fortunately after a few minutes of idling the engine it started to idle cleaner and after redoing both tests all cylinders passed with flying colors ![]() ![]() Keep in mind that compression test gauges vary from brand to brand as I've tried 3 gauges each ranging from 180-240 compression on the same cylinder. What you need to worry about is just the percentage difference between cylinders.
