I have a motor that ran very good, we have let it sit for several years now there is no compression in any of the cylinders. Is there any thing I can add to the cylinders I assume it has to be the rings. Thanks

Take plugs out and look to see if valves are all moving

I agree with Kurt, stuck valves. We had one with two dead cylinders just the other day. Exhaust valves stuck open.

When I bought my 31 Town Sedan it had no compression also. It sat in a garage for several years, and I found the teeth were stripped off part of the cam gear, so it didn't rotate.
Watch the distributor rotor to make sure the cam is turning. |
