Hi the car was runing great right up untill it stalled on the highway. After towing it home I found all six cylinders had only aprox, 28 lbs ( dry compression ) and aprox 110 lbs ( wet compression ) I know high wet readings indicate rings but the car didnt blow any oil at all. I am in Mexico living in a small town and getting the car towed around isnt a pleasent thought. I am pretty good with cars have tools and a haynes manual. I am thinking checking the rocker arms then the timing chain ( no belt ). Then heads and gasgets though there dosnt appear to be any coolant in the oil. Does this sound like a good choice of attack? If it is rings I am thinking rebuilt replacement motor!!! Thank you.
