problems with starting 444-544

Valves stuck or rings stuck??

To free rings, squirt some Marvel Mystery Oil in each cylinder and let it sit overnight.

Basically the same mode of attack for slightly stuck valves: coat the top end of each valve liberally with MMO so it can work its way into the valve guides. Let it sit overnight.

Actually, it should start and run (kind of!) with the cylinder pressures you quote. Check spark, timing, and fuel. Sometimes just a low battery will keep a car from starting even though it tu rns over.

Good luck!
