Burning oil? What was the compression? How's the plug look?

 

burning oil. plug was burnt/black. compression was 30-35

what was the reading on the others?

Sucks to have a done motor... I'm in the same boat.

150 i believe? they were all fine. but the 4th cylinder was making up for the 3rd cylinder.

Sorry man. Probably a new piston, hopefully the cylinder itself is OK. But I don't know crap about motors. Maybe someone will post what they paid to rebuild a motor?

 

what happened to cause your motor to lose that much compression? bent valve? how did you determine it is probably just rings?

As far as price, depends on who does most of what work. Will need to get your block honed, and assuming you didnt mess up the walls you won't need them bored. (hone is still required there) then you'd have charges for assembly/disassembly of the block assuming thats all you bring there. You probably should replace all your bearings, rings on all 4 pistons (again assuming you dont need oversized pistons). Wouldn't hurt to throw a set of rod bolts on for ***** and giggles. Oil pump too, while the block is apart?

Think about how many miles and what items are coming up for service -- kill as many birds with one stone as possible, will be cheaper in the long run for you.

Good luck.

bro it may also be a bent or burnt valve... check those... usually rings all go bad at once not just one cylinder

 

do it right and rebuild with forged pistons/rods.. forged rods/pistons can cost towards thousand or more, then sleeveing could also cost towards a thousand or 2 havn'et checked recent prices but i'm sure its not that much cheaper. seals/bearings/gaskets/pumps will cost few hundred

- i don't think sleeving is necessary for supercharger hp..

for buying another stock block.. you could spend around 1 thousand on used gsr block not knowing exact history of abuse (not itr, because you'll lower your compression with gsr) but then you're dealing with stock pistons again..

cyl #3 is typical failure with b00st.. exactly how mine went.. cyl #3 having the lowest ##'s

i read the first 2 pages before, now i am caught up. thanks

 

send your block to JG

 

what or who is <TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by FatBoy4door &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote"> JG </TD></TR></TABLE>???

 

Edelbrock y0!

 

jg engine dynamics

they are responsible for this

jgenginedynamics.com
its fs btw if any of you type r boys want a b16a built with spooooon, jg, je, eagle, clutchmasters

 

If you plan on staying boosted, forged pistons & rods should be on your list. Also, I wouldn't let JG sleeve my keychain.

Did they paint the block for you too?

 

150 is way low for a stock C5.... your compression should be more like 250...

Will the car start? From my understanding you have to have at least 50 in each cylinder in order for it to start...
