A friend of mine recently compression tested his GSR. He compression tested it, removed the guage from the hose which is a quick disconnect. He didn't know that the ***** that lock the quick disconnect fell down into the spark plug well, then he proceeded to unscrew the hose that threads into the spark plug hole and the ***** then made it into the cylinder. He found out real quickly that something was wrong.

No more Harbor Freight tester for Him.... HAVE A HAPPY NEW YEAR!

 

OUCH.

 

ball bearing chambers

 

Uh.....you can buff that out...

 

holy **** that's crazy

 

mine fell apart luckly it didnt fall into the chamber,,, ouch.

 

Makes me glad my cheapo Harbor Freight tester doesn't have a quick disconnect. Of course I still don't trust it's accuracy. Also the bleed valve is now leaking when I use it. I need to invest in a good one some time. Any suggestions for something inexpensive yet dependable?

 

It will be fine. Just put some tussin on it

 

just a few little dings no big deal, just put the head back on and run it like that! lol

 

Just fill in the holes with weld and grind it down then have the head shaved. Might work?

 

looks like it did a number on one of the valve seats

 

My $60 Craftsman tester works great and came with a lot of adapters to fit just about any engine. Also came with an adapter to pressurize the cylinders which comes in handy for swapping valve springs.

 

damn. sorry to bump i ve been using harbor freight tester as well lol
dimpled surface better aerodaynamics i guess.

good to know

 

still good though! that'll buff right out!

 

too bad it nailed the edge of the valve seat. Hes gonna have to take it to cylinder head shop to fix that valve seat

 

Dammmm that sucks

 

Looks exactly like one of my previous engines after a screw from a skunk2 throttle body butterfly went through the engine.
