I just got a Sir II 92-95 long block from them and it looks great from the outside. I did a compression test and it was 70 across the board. I took out the plugs and they looked nasty as hell. Then I took off the exhaust manifold and it had major I mean major carbon build-up. I also noticed that when I opened the throttle body and wipped the inside of the manifold I came out with a oil soaked finger. Here are some pics.

these guys have such a good reputation, especially on this site, im sure if you call them up, they will have another shipped out. and if i were them, i would have that one picked up at the time of delivery of the new one.

Thats what i want to know. You have to rotate the motor atleast 3 good cranks (all cylinders around) with compression to do it. Thats pretty damn hard to do by hand.

But like mentioned talk to Steve, hell fix everything.

 

**** all you need is a power wire, ground wire and a wire for the starter solenoid.

its not hard.

 

HMO is one of the best places to buy your stuff and GREAT COSTUMER SERVICE they will fix it in a sec. call up Steve.

HMO

 

No problems w/ Hmotors here.

 

never dealt with them, however many of their customers on this site swear by them.

 

Steve is a good guy to deal with... Was up there last week, and he's got like 1000 diff motors in there.. haha

 

i got my motor from them. runs good. only problems were a leaky oil pan gasket and tranny gasket. motors strong.

 

just call him and tell him what you told us.there a good company if you gotta **** it back to them then that sucks but im sure they will cover the cost.

 

very cool guy and honest do deal with, give him a call he will make it work

HMO

 

i have NEVER had any problems with Steve..but then again it may be cuz im his good friend

 

i got a busted e- brake cable with my rear disk swap.. but steve got a new one with any question asked. they r the best at what they do

 

i hope you realize that the engine has to be HOT in order to do a compression test.

when the motor is cold, the compression is going to be low, cause the rings have not expanded yet.

 

It doesnt HAVE to be hot, the numbers do go up a little but cold is fine.
