My car was fine right up untill it suddenly died on the road. After towing it home I found all cylinders had aprox.28lbs compression (dry) and aprox 110 (wet). There was no indication the rings were bad prior to this and there dosnt seem to be any coolent in the oil. Blown head gasgets both sides maby? Please help
thanks

Check your timing belt. Sounds like it slipped a tooth.

I had thought of the timing, it is a chain on the 3.3 ltr though would doing a wet compression test increase the readings if it were only valves?
