Hi:
My subaru dealer said to me that I have less pressure in the piston #2, (aprox. 4kg). The other three pistons have approx. 10 kg). In order to know the problem that has the piston #2 my Subaru dealer said to me that he must remove the engine totally of the bay. This is truth?
Regards
David

David,
Once a "compression", or "leak down" test has been done, there isn't much more that can be checked without removing the engine, and then the heads.
