Well, I've been over due for a valve adjustment. But first we checked the compression.
180 / 165 / 180 / 185

Did the valve adjustment and re-checked the compression
190 / 190 / 190 / 190

Car has 53,000 'hard' miles and doesnt burn a lick of oil, not even at track events! Love this car and Valvoline Syn 5w30.

Im very pleased with how the car runs now...no more tick tick tick.

Oh, I also installed my Billions thermostat (thanks Shane! )

 

Nice
I'm looking into a new synthetic oil...maybe I'll try Valvoline

 

Your compression numbers... is that right? That seems lower than typical numbers.

 

well, different compression testers give different #'s as long as they are about the same all the way across the board it should be fine..

 

Yeah I believe the numbers are right...but either way, they are consistant which is what Im most thankful for...i was praying that after the valves were adjusted I wasnt going to see some very off numbers like 190 / 165 / 180 / 185

All is good...

Sean: i'll talk to you tomorrow about those cars we have.

 

TJ, notice any difference with the (new) thermostat?

 

how much was it to have the valves adjusted?

 

Exact same is my numbers. I have 100k on my bottom end though, and its a LS w/vtec head. My CR is 10.02:1.
