Was afraid of that anyway I'm going to recharge battery and borrow a different compression tester and try again to make sure. I am a bit miffed about timing it was a new timing set with less then 20k on it I hope my tester is just bad but I don't think that is the case.

I only checked the one plug though I'll check the rest when I compression check it.

The oil is ok no water and radiator is full and no oil in there as far as I can tell. I'll do a compression check today. The plug looked a bit dark but smelled of gas and I put my finger over hole had him crank and it sucked my finger down and blew it back and I felt moisture it smelled like...
