I did a compression test a few days ago and my numbers were roughly 1 thru 4 185, 170, 170, 130 so we did a leak down test tonight. With a 100 psi pressure I had 93, 93, 90, 39. I have no idea how long its been low since this is my first leak down ever and first compression test in about 6 months. It might have something to do with me driving on 14+ psi everyday. I'll be going to the track tuesday to see if my mph has dropped since my last run 2 weeks ago. Will cylinder 1 fail soon if I keep boosting? I'm hoping it will last until I get my 2.0 gsr built.

 

If you did your leak down test correctly you should know where your compression is going. Either way it sounds like its time for a tear down.

 

Drive it till it drops.

 

You have 61% leakdown in a cylinder and your going to the track to run . Seems like it would be logical to take it easy on the engine so you know for sure it will last until you get your other engine finished. Just my opinion of course.

common sense
dont RACE IT if you want it to last
you obviously have a big problem.

 

you guys obviously don't know josh, he kills motors left and right. i think he likes to blow them up.j/k (I hope thats not true) this is about the longest i have ever seen him go without blowing it.

I'll be at the track tuesday night to test my new axles.
