Well guys..as some of you read..I rebuilt my gsr and it wouldnt crank...after scratching my head for a few days, I just got it towed to a shop. Guess what the problem was....my compression. Here are the numbers...125, 115, 75, 0.

Before we talk about how terrible the numbers are...here is the setup.
94 b18c1
ENDYN ported head/flat exhaust valves(claimed .2 more compression)
ITR cams/valvesprings/intake valves/portflow retainers
Skunk2 manifold/camgears
JDM 4-1 w/2.5 carsound
RC 64mm t/b
JDM ITR pistons and spoon headgasket(ruined by the way...waste of 125
)
shotpeened gsr rods and honed block/balanced rotating assembly

I am more than frustrated. The shop did a leakdown....turned out to be my piston rings...I did them right dammit...I swear I did!! I guess not tho...well..turns out that im going to be without my car one more week...this will make four weeks total of a daily driver M.I.A. Gosh..IM soooo frustrated....wasted headgasket...no daily driver for 4 weeks...not be able to see my girlfriend(cuz she doesnt drive)..and bumming rides from my friends(and my parents..lol). Sorry...I know its a little OT...just had to vent, and I like you guys better than any other forum..

 

Sorry to hear that. Let's hope it flies by fast and you'll be back on the road without much more trouble.

 

always check everything once, twice, three times and then have somebody else check it.....sorry man

 

what exactly did you do wrong? unless you broke the rings when you were installing them i dont see how you could mess it up so much that you only get that much compression. maybe the machine shop messed up with the bore/hone job?
