There seems to be a problem with one cylinder on an engine I'm working on. Most likely, there's a valve problem. But I'm just curios if there's another...
Well, if the valves are seated ok, and your not getting any blowby at the spark plug/test port, the pressure is going somewhere. Rings are a good possible....
Jeff here is trick that has been used for years. Hope this helps. Pour approximately 1 tablespoon of 30-weight motor oil into the cylinder through the spark...
The heads were just rebuilt. New rings installed. Pistons looked good. New head gasket torqued properly. No pressure coming from the dipstick tube. I really...
Thanks Dave, I'll try that! Question though. This engine is freshly rebuilt and has only been run twice for about one minute each time. So the rings are not ...
Yes, you will see a minimal increase in compression due to the rings not being fully seated but you are looking for a larger increase to rule out a valve ...
Will do. Thanks. I gotta pick up a new compression test gauge too. What are the chances of a rocker that apparently wasn't fulley seated popping out while the...
Sorry to hear of your troubles. I guess a good note would be that the rocker didn't pop up and nail you in the head instead of the gauge. I too just finished...
We'll be meeting at TC Gators on Ford Rd in Canton Wednesday night as usual. 4:30 until ..... We had a good showing last week. Let's do it again! In case...
Some of you already know, some of you don't. Jeff V will be leaving us for Kansas City, MO at the beginning of next month in search of greener pastures. So I...
I'm working on arranging things to be there. ... From: mi3si@yahoogroups.com [mailto:mi3si@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Jeff.A.Williamson@... Sent:...
I picked up a new compression tester on the way home. I put it in the bad cylinder, cranked the engine, and walah! 148 psi !!! So just to see if the problem...
I was almost resolved to having to remove the engine again, so I'm glad I fooled around with it a little longer before giving up. Maybe this was a fluke, or...
Just some MI event reminders. First we have the MI3SI meet at Dave and Busters in Utica on Aprit 20th at 1pm. It's a great way to spend the afternoon with...
Ok so we are setting up a west MI drag day planning for mid May. We have yet to settle on a date. So far we are planning on Thunderbird dragway about 10...
Oh I don't know, I was just throwing it out there to remind you. I don't think a lot of people from Michigan go to the UMG anyway so that would still probably...
My thoughts on planning a gathering is you will never please everyone, just pick a time that most are available for and go from there. You can't please...
I seem to recall that some of the early 1st gen Stealth used perforated leather on the door panels wheras the GT did not. But I don't recall seeing any where...
Figures you do the Dave and Busters thing on my birthday lol. Oh well, I will definitely be there for Jeff's going away, as it will most likely be the last...
Well Ive never made it to any event or anything for that matter. But since your super close to me Im going to try and make it for this one. Just got the car up...
Anyone have caps and can look up for me for a 92TT the right and left side part numbers for the inner door panels. The entire panel . Im on a mac and can¹t...
Here's what I found for VR4. The same part numbers are shown for all years. Trim Front Door LH: MB767815 D-Gray MB773289 L-Beige D-Gray MB782868 M-Red D-Gray...
