Don't you hate that? That's what my first compression test went like, I tested them 4321 and got 155, 155, 155, then as I thought "whew, my engine is in great shape" I tested 110 on cyl 1. It's like "dammit cylinder, why can't you be like your buddies and have good compression? You just have to be a troublemaker!"
No, I did not actually shout at cylinder 1.

. I'm j/k. That reminded me of Adam Sandler in Happy Gilmore though. "Stupid ball, why won't you GO HOME!? Are you too good for your home!??? ANSWER ME!!!! Suck my white ass ball!"
LOL

Nah, he shouted at it, don't believe what he says! He shouts at his car all the time, expecting it to talk back!

I honestly believe that everyone who has worked on their car has shouted at their car at one point or another. I personally have thrown f*ckin' hissy fits. I remember installing an intake manifold at 1:00 a.m. after much head work. I dropped one of the bolts. It landed on a center member. I definitely jumped up and down cussing my ass off. I hate cars.

Well Tsib just left my house with his new head in hand. He didn't have another hg so I gave him a spare composite I had left over from a top end rebuild kit I had from the old galant. Hopefully we should hear about his car being up and running soon, I didn't think to ask him if he wanted my spare set of ARP's since he will be needing new head bolts or studs. Oh well I hope a local mistu dealership maybe has bolts on stock.
