    So I parked on a slope the other day, and when I came back out with my pizza, blue was at the bottom of the hill. It was in gear.
    How can I go about fixing that problem without emptying my bank account?

    Cheaper to fix the parking brake than re - ring the cylinders.

    The other source of compression leak could be worn valve seats.
    That would involve having the head re-worked.

    When I was broke making $10hr in the1980's I kept a brick handy to chock under the tire.
