I just want to use the opportunity to thank everyone who had helped me with my car from DiRep972 for letting me use his garage for a gazzilion times.....
Arturbo, I dunno what I'd do without him, he's been helping me since the very beginning of my project..
Ben- for a great deal and answering my stupid dumbass questions...
MarkC, FalconGSR, Dustin, JB sadler, who founded my long lost leak...and did compression test for me last night....(BTW 230 230 230 220..
)
quickRPM1, hyundai46Gt3, integrated109 for hooking me up with Jack and giving me the pad on the back...
TurboB18B, for helping me going thru my boggin problems...
etylorcen, DragIIcivic, anthony K, degradated, gruvytune, greyzone....etc etc etc etc
hmmm, I am sorry if I am forgetting anyone, but there has been so many peoples who had IM me or email me telling me to keep my head up and give me a little suggestions here and there, and they all helped me a lot...so I want to thank you guys and basically overall everyone on this forum, you guys are terrific.,....

Re: Finally, I think everything is working in order.....!!!!!!! (Anthony K)
it's nice to see you guys helping each other out. i wish i had someone to help me out here in CS, TX. but now there are some problems with my motor. i hope it's just a blown headgasket and not pistons. i'm gonna do a compression test on friday. should've had one of you guys come and help me install the kit instead of bringing it to a shop that really messed up my car.

CS is College Station. I had jason (st00pid) install my RH kit. not to bash on him, but these are facts:
-he blew the engine while it was at his shop, but he did rebuild it for me free (stock parts)
-drove home (100 mi.) without any transmission fluid, he apparently forgot to put it back in. didn't find out until i checked the level. fortunately there doesn't seem to be any permanent damage, yet.
-turbo timer is not hooked up properly cause the engine doesn't stay on when i turn the key
-there is now smoke coming from the valve breather and i think i'm losing compression cause my car always stalls when i come to a light and the rpm drops.
so that's my list of woes. i'm going to do a compression test tomorrow but i'm afraid to find out the obvious, that my motor is probably blown again.
If any one can lend their services, it would be much appreciated. thanks.

Yes you do use it. If your car is stalling at idle, you may be running a little rich. Are you using an fmu?
