f**k a LS swap

[Steven.]

not really car related, well kinda...
picked this up last night

also got a new phone(and number) today

 

[kyle10182]

that is really cool. i admire your work space greatly.

 

[Steven.]

wasent the rings that where bad, still has low compression in 2 center cylinders.
wtf

 

[kyle10182]

valves? valve seals?

 

[Steven.]

the valves looked like they were sealing when i had the head off.

so after i start it, and do another compression test, if its still low, the head will get sent to the shop to be checked more throughly.
my dristibutor should be here soon, only need a couple parts in order to start it.

Yeah I like that toolbox.. Its pretty big.. I wish I had a garage to beable to buy put tools and work on my car in..

 

[Steven.]

i dont work on my car in the garage.

compression test:
170-80-120-170

thats the highest they would go...

 

[12.8:1 Ls/vtec]

What about a leakdown test to see if the valves are seating to give you a rough idea. Just pour a pool of solvents into the combustion chamber with the head off and upside down to see if the valves will keep it up there for 5-10 minutes.

Take and drop a table spoon or two of oil in the center two cylinders and post up your new numbers.

those are with a couple squirts of oil in them. they were 60-90 before

going to buy a leak down tester, i have been meaning to get one for a couple years, but havent yet.

i plan on pullin the head, and sendin it to a machine shop, so, i will probably end up upgrading the valve train.

this gives me time to collect the rest of the parts needed to finish.
