I have been reluctant to take my boat out since the engine overheated during a storm I was caught in. It had collapsed the exhaust pipe and melted the top of the spark plug wires. I replaced the pipe and finally got around to check the compression. It turned out that the two inner cylinders showed no compression what so ever. The front and back showed 95-100. I also did a wet test on those cylinders and still no compression.
Some comments in the forum mention stuck valves. But that appears to be with low compression. No one had mentioned no compression at all! I am wondering though if this can be caused by a combination of a poor head gasket and sticky valves?
Any comments are greatly appreciated.
