On my new to me rx1 it has a miss at idle. With some more investigating I have it narrowed to which cly. It has compression but only 25-30 lbs.
the miss leaves at bigger rpms
Any thoughts or cures?
 

Mine has 195 lbs with 13,000 miles, verify with another gauge making sure it seals to head properly(not leaking out past gauge) , if correct , do a leak down test to find out if rings or a valve issue, doesnt sound to good
 
x2 on what fixerman said. it could be stuck rings or a carboned up valve. did you try with some oil in it to see if it came up in pressure?
