As I recall, Howell said they shipped me 8 1/2 compression je Pistons...


Now, I have no idea what’s going on - last week I did a comp test and came out with about 165's all across the board

NOW WTF!?!?

I did it today, and I pulled
Cyn 1 - 175
Cyn 2 - 155
Cyn 3 - 155
Cyn 4 - 155


OK Waite...something is weird...isn’t it supposed to be the opposite...usually one is lower then all the rest, but one is much higher then all the rest....what the hell is going on...YES, my motor was fully warmed up...

Could my tester be fu*ked up?

This motor has about 1000 miles, total seal rings

let her break in some more do0d, 1000 miles is nuthin

96 talon esi-t
san clemente, ca


as needles of ice
are the ill winds' talons

true, i thought about that....but still those are low - and one cyn has perfect compression...

i duno tho, it seems weird

well it was a bad tester, i used the shop's - hit 180's even all across

now i just need to fix - totaly broken motor mount - bad vac leak - and over heating! yey!

Doing a comp test is the easiest thing in the world, but at the same time the hardest. It is odd.

comp test should be done with engine at normal temp, all 4 plugs out, fuel pump un-plugged, coil un-plugged, and TB wide open when you crank. watch your gauge as you crank and stop turning over when the needle stops climbing.

That sound about right to anyone else... did i forget anything?

USED TO HAVE...Everything you wish you had, and then some...

You are somebody special Tim, you matter! - from the admins (but nobody likes you, because your username is just like that other guy's, and you whine a lot)

yep...if you dont do the test with the throttle wide open, then you will get much lower results...some people do not no this...

but yea, my tester i bought from auto zone was a peice of shit!
