yeah you can do that with a timing light also lol ok i give up you keep doing it that way cause you know what ur doing, i only do this for a living and my boss has been doing it for 30 years, but you know what ur doing, lol whatever
plus the the car is only gonna build so much compression when its running anyways it will get to a certain point adn stop its not gonna keep going, after about 5-6 hits its not gonna read anymore, so wtf is running the car gonna do.

What you fuckers apparently don't seem to understand is that he read this shit in Import Tuner and this is the BEST way it is done.

What were we thinking doing it our way?


And I'm glad his but dyno can tell him if his motor is hurt or not. A top speed run would not necessarily prove anything seeing as most cars are speed limited by the ecu NOT by HP.

So even if he was dropping a cylinder he most likely would be able to achieve the same speed just with a higher risk of both getting in an accident and/or doing more damage to his motor.

But then again I know if I thought I had a motor problem I would just go out and max my car out

So you are saying the valves don't seat properly unless the motor is running?

Actually this is almost as bad as lembo in terms of grammar. I have no clue what you are actually trying to say here.

Can you decipher this rambling sentence for me?
