WK1 Troubleshooting / Problems Discussion / Dealer ServiceIf you are having some problems with your Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 and need assistance in troubleshooting and diagnosing the problem, this is the proper place to discuss it. Were you treated fairly or poorly at a dealer? Warranty issues? Let us know.
wouldnt crank and bearin wear give you a lower reading?
not really.
the only way something can escape the combustion chamber is through the intake/exhaust valves (if they're bent/not seating properly), any of the piston rings, or if you have a blown head gasket.

Thus you would figure this out by the way the needle moves then correct?
With my cam/supercharger I am at 14 and change with no movement once it warms up to operating temp. I lied to you good sir!
What cam ya running?? Can u shoot a video of the gauge? I think I made a good investment as mine is shaking back and forth fast but in a very short span. I would say it move back and forth real fast between 15-15 and a half at most. Heeeeeelp!!! What issue does this give me?
well, if you have a bent valve, chances are you'll have a misfire and a MIL on. you can do a compression test to determine a bad valve. if you have a bad head gasket, your engine will over heat and you can check your coolant to see if it's being mixed with engine oil.
