Alright, I've been on here off and on for the last year asking questions about my bike. Since last summer I've been working on doing a top end on my bike a 91 GSF400. Everything is back together after finding my head gasket was shot, since the engine was already torn down I decided to measure my bores and re ring it. The bores all measured fine according to the manual so I re honed it, remeasured the bores (they were still within spec after honing) and got a new set of stock sized rings to put back in it. Now the bike is reassembled and my compression is low on all 4 cylinders but it is equal. I talked to a guy I work with and he said to redo the compression test but with oil in the cylinders. My batteries kinda dead but I got to test one cylinder, the compression jumped dramatically which would say it's a problem with the rings. Well when I reassembled the engine I applied an assembly lube to the cylinder walls,(meant to wash off by oil and heat) does anyone know if this could affect the compression readings? Or is it time for a new engine or order the Big Bore kit offered here and go for a full bore/hone.
FWIW before I added oil to the cylinders all of them tested between 70-80 PSI with oil in the one it jumped to well over 120 before my battery lost power.
