Hey fellas.
I am working on finalizing a deal for a 5.8 out of a 96 Bronco that is said to only have 85k on it. The place I am buying it from runs a compression check and leak down test on it before we finalize the deal, and they give it a 6 month warranty.
I called today and was told that the engine tested compression at 110 dry with a 10% variance. I know very little about the motors on these trucks (learning) and have never heard of a "dry" compression check. So, can someone give me some feedback on this process and the 110 result? What is a "dry" compression check? Guessing that is without oil, but can that be done safely?
Thanks...
