Default Compression numbers.....advice?

160, 70, 160, 160
jrsc@8psi 3.8" blower pulley
dsm 450's

i/h/e...untuned.
Any words for the unwise so as I don't really fawk up my bottom end? thanks in advance. I'm thinking of going back with forged pistons/rods of the stock compression.

I don't understand what you're asking. Looking at your compression, it looks like your engine is already screwed?

You should be ok to drive on it for a bit. I drove on a spun rod bearing for 5 months, although it wore the crank journal to next to nothing.

Don't drive it too long, take it off the road asap and do a rebuild.

Unlikely. Ive broke three motors due to rod bearing failure...they all go soo fast. Once you heard the *bang bang* (the knock knock sound) you better get the hell home and fast. The last engine that spun i was at high RPM when it happened and i bent one rod and broke another in 1/2. A friend with a b16a once he started to hear the knock...by the time he got home which was 5 miles away..the motor was distroyed.

Your #2 is blown. Good chance its the ring lands. I wouldnt drive on it for very long as the broke piston can scar up the walls very bad which will force you to bore the cyl to fix the damage.
