is it my rings?

1'2'3'4'5 are 175, throttle flat

number 6 is 110?

put 5ml of oil in number 6 went from 110psi to 130

put 5ml in number 5, went from 175psi to 205psi

are their any other tests i can do?

low kilometre standard engine

Could be rings, but you'd expect a much bigger improvement on #6 than on one of the good cylinders on the wet test. So on that basis you'd expect a BHG or bad valve or something else (like all the bad options like a cracked piston, cracked head, etc etc). Valve most likely.

warm the car up, and test it again.

i once had a cyl read 80 when the rest were 130, then i tested it again 2 weeks later and that cyl was back to normal again. have no Fn idea why.

tested it after i purchased new engine internals btw. guess they were not needed... at least for a few months after when something else let go

DISCLAIMER: I may be wrong (If I am please someone correct me, I love learning about this shit)

Your wet test results showed a bigger improvement on a normal cylinder (weird right?). This suggests that your cylinder bore in #6 is likely okay; it points towards head gasket problems or something in the head.

I'm no guru but I'd be checking for symptoms of head gasket problems first as they stick out like a sore thumb.

edit: also I just wanted to mention that those comp. numbers sound a bit high. Anyone else think the same?

    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
