Marc,

Krill if for whales..you should use Kroil

(okay, I thought it was funny.)

That IS bad compression: good luck on loosening the rings!

No, your starter should NOT  always be engaged...the thing must be stuck, or the return spring has broken. The starter needs to come out and get repaired.

Hi  every body
IM finely getting to the motor for my 55 dodge it is the 270 hemi on the compression test I got 75 to 90 psi on all cylinders I figured that's not that good so I have put 3 oz of krill penetrating oil in each cyl, and 4 oz of marvel mystery oil in the hope that it is stuck rings. the motor had 68000 on it when it was parked in 72.
and I found the starter if always engaged is it supposed to be like this? if I could get your thoughts on the compression and the starter I'd be grateful thanks
