    Mep531a.wont start or hit

    Well I drained the oil and tried starting it again and nothing again.and without oil on top of cylinder it only has 120 psi.I'm guessing that rings may be stuck or bad rings or possibly bad valves.I'm gonna try the marvel oil today.is there anyway that the seals that seal the injector is...
