Message	my brother out in vegas developed low compression in one cylinder. all were around 160-170 except #2 which pulled in 60psi, when adding oil it pulled in just higher than 70psi. Im suspecting ringlands but ive never pulled a single cylinder before. im thinking about hoisting the motor up, dropping the subframe, pulling the oil pan, pulling out just that piston/rod. eagle rods and weisco pistons btw? anyone have any tips or advice? thanks ">
