i got u tim..see u in a little bit with that ls head......

 

eluzzionz - yea dude, def my first thought
unfortunately, with Xmas time approaching, its not gonna happen

mike - i got one word man for you, and its CLUTCH.

 

You might not even need rings.

 

haha i know, i realized that a little too late tho...

i was actually gapping the new ones when i remembered what you said, grabbed some gas, and started kicking myself...

anyway, this thing is gonna be a champ once its fixed *fingers crossed*

thanks again kevin

 

if you need a head homie, LMK i got you.

 

thanks bro, i appreciate the offer.

ive already used what kevin said on three and saved myself the hassle of buying busted ones, just got back with one from bradenton, and going to go check it/throw it on.

will update tonite.

 

g/l homie hope you getter running strong

 

thanks for the bump bro...

so i assembled the bottom end, new standard bore rings, used the new headgasket i had the first time, and the new head....

so i crank it up last night, and im not getting anything. wont run at all. i check the compression in #1 and get 30 fucking PSI. i get a heinekin and go to sleep.

get up this morning, go check all the compression again, and i got #1-4: 190, 185, 170, 150.

so everything is better, on the whole, but i still have this weird decrease...

any ideas? it will run and idle fine now, i just dont want to drive it around knowing the numbers are that different.

oh, and the head i got last night from mike got the Kevin-gas-test-special, and passed with flying colors.

 

Did you disable the injectors. A fresh motor might give weird numbers if the injectors are squirting and washing the walls of the oil. Drive it a bit and see if the rings seal a little better. Also how did you prep the cyliner walls?

 

i had the injectors clips unplugged while i was checking compression, but i did have em on when i tried to run it at first, so that may have affected it...

i will go drive it around a bit and see what happens.

cylinder walls got a light hone from a 3-stone hone on a drill with some cutting oil, the same way ive prepped all my engines....
