Slant 6 Vibration

Typically, if you add a teaspoon of motor oil, and the readings don't go up significantly, it is a bad valve or head gasket. I am not sure what fogging oil would do to seal up bad rings in this type of test, so I would reccommend repeating the tests with a tsp of motor oil in each cylinder.

Normally your valve train wears so that the valve lash (looseness) gets bigger and so that would not hang a valve open. But, if a valve pounded badly into the valve seat, then it could close up the lash and hang the valve open a bit.

Next time see if you can determine if the 'psssss' is coming out of the intake port or out of the exhaust and that would confirm a bad valve. Putting air pressure into each cylinder from a compressor with a park plug adapter would show this right away.

And the lower than average reading in cylinder 1 could be valves or cylinder wear; front cylinders in inline sixes often show more wear.

I reran the test with motor oil on cylinder 2 only (battling a head cold at the moment and in the CA hear that's all I could muster) and the reading only topped out at 45. I didn't hear the hissing noise this time, however. Maybe it was nothing. So that indicates most likely a head/valve issue? I was considering getting a cheap borescope to look at the valves without taking the head off, but I suppose that's inevitable now.
