did a compression test today with these results:
cyl 1= 155
cyl 2= 165
cyl 3= 160
cyl 4= 165

 

what motor? the #'s are at least very close to each other, that's not a bad sign

my motor: 225, 225, 120, 230 doing a swap tomorrow

did you hold down the accelerator while turning the engine? Did you let it crank through 5+ revolutions?

 

it's a b18a, after pulling the plug crank car holding down clutch and accerator

 

thats wierd. usually rings dont go out at the same time. i think u may have bent valves

 

What compression ratio are you running? Those #'s dont look that bad.

 

the c/r is 9.2:1 bored .20 over

 

look like pretty good numbers to be, don't worry about it

 

trying not to worry but, I'm burning oil something serious!! What could be what else should I check.

 

think maybe turbo bearings go bad????

 

check for oil in your charge pipe, and what are you using for crank case ventalation?

 

I'll check the charge today

 

improper cam timing could cause poor compression across all cylinders.
check your tbelt.

 

cam timing is at 0 intake 0 exhaust ignition is fully retarded (sounds funny)!

 

cheeked all charge pipes and these no oil inside of them??? WTF??

 

Numbers seem good, some testers tend to read lower. Who is this?? I noticed you live in the same town as me. I know you are a tral user so you can't use PM. Drop me a email if you like (spchowell@hotmail.com) maybe we could help each other out, I'm always looking for **** to buy.

 

valveseals. Replace them.

I bet you your car smokes some during startup after sitting all night then after a few it pretty much goes away?
