Hi everyone...need some help understanding what is going on with my '06 H3. Purchased this car new in '06 and have loved it. Put 137,500 miles on it. I drive 5 days a week 60 miles round trip...up two grades..both ways..yikes. It started with trying to find out what that engine "shudder" is when you are almost to a complete stop when the RPM'S drop. One time it felt like it was gonna die on me. So I decided to have a compression/leak down test done. These are the results.
Compression: #1 120LBS. #2 120LBS. #3 120LBS. #4 112LBS. #5 120LBS.
Leak Down: #1 30%- #2 45%- #3 65%- #4 72%- #5 60%-
What does this mean? Is a rebuild in my near future? Can this engine go another 75,000 miles or more? Is there something I can do to help her (sorry my car is a "her"). Also I am religious on oil changes...I have always run Mobil One in it - since new.
Second question....I increased my tire size to 17...rather than the 16's. I have BF Goodrich TKO's. Will this put added stress on the engine and worse
gas mileage?
I have a Volant air intake on it and K&N filter...poor girl she needs all the help she can get....
Anyone out there that can help with either question?
