over the weekend, I rented a compression tester from Oreily's.

got the following results (partial):

cylinder 1: 100 psi
cylinder 2: 50 psi
cylinder 3: 95 psi
cylinder 4: 105 psi
cylinder 5: 120 psi
cylinder 6: 100 psi
cylinder 7: unknown, can't get to it.
cylinder 8: 110 psi.

when i removed plugs, both spark plugs on cylinder 7 and 8 are soaked with gasoline. I probably flooded them when I was trying to start by keeping on tapping on the gas paddle.

so, based on the above information, what you guys think?

thanks so much for voicing your opinions, all appreciated.
