ok well i finnaly got some time to check out the compression, i got 150, 148, 124, 149. thats not the greatest news in the world, but i was planning on rebuilding it and the tranny anyway before i start to mod, so not a huge deal. one questtion i have though, how tight should the test be on? you have the gauge and then the rubber hose the connects to the cylinder. i hand tighened it down, is that what you are supposed to do? i saw no other way of getting any tighter? also where is a good place to rebuild the engine? im thinking that if i can find another 6 bolt at a junk yard and rebuild it and still drive my car while its getting built(for core). let me know thanks.
