on the engine we just re-sealed ( gasket job )
has 35psi in cylinder #1 and 55PSI in the other 3.
we added oil to #1 and re-tested the compression, it rose to 50psi.

besides a drop in power,
are there any short term issues with having it like this ?

We are trying to get the car in the 4th of July parade, the radiator is good, along with the rest of the drive line ?

after this we will replace the pistons.
standard bore size. ( sleeved )
