After I did the compression test on 7, I put the plug back in and started the car and let it run for 45 seconds. Shut it off…pulled out plug 5. Hooked up the tester, cranked it over with the throttle to the floor about 6 strokes, 55psi…

trust me i tried everything…something in that cylinder is fucked and im not fucking with it they can fuckin deal with it.

talked to both dodge world and northstar this morning…

dodge world said to bring it to northstar and have it diagnosed. If it was indeed a internal engine problem it would be covered. So I dropped it off at northstar at 9 this morning. Told them whats going on. He said he has had to deal with warranty’s before with them so it should go smooth. They started working on it this morning and I havent heard from them since. Drove by a little while ago on my way home and it was still in the garage so I take it, it is a internal engine problem m(which was a given)

Im interested to see if it was a Valve train issue or a piston ring tho.
