ok so... my lsvtec has no compression... kinda thought that (burned oil and what not)... 145 psi ACROSS THE BOARD in a motor that should have 11.6:1


added oil to the cylinder... the word **** was said many times at it tapped out the 290 psi gauge.

now... i thought a heat shield was loose... it rattled..then tonight, going down the freeway, i thought it fell off! which made me jack it up and take a look....

anyone wanna guess what the noise was? as i changed lanes in 5th, at about 4000rpm, i put her to the floor... and thats when i heard the noise...which i thought was the heat shield...

HOLY **** was i wrong. theres a hole the size of my fist in the ******* tranny. my fist people... not all the way to the case, just the motor mount on the back... there was still a PIECE of the bolt sitting up there... WTF.


im pissed, im going to bed, im going to rebuild the **** out her.

 

that sucks. hopefully ur rebuild will go well

 

good luck with the rebuild. some things happen for a reason

 

what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger. good luck, i know you'll learn quite a bit from this.

 

How much oil did you add to the cylinders?

The tranny is unfortunate. Good luck with the rebuild.

I'm just surprised by the huge increase in compression from the oil addition.

 

At least your attitude is positive Make her stronger

 

He added oil down the sparkplug hole, not the valvecover.

Yes, the increase should indicate that the rings are bad. You usually add just a few dops of oil to the cylinder. Otherwise, the oil will reduce the combustion chamber volume and raise the perceived compression. I think that exceeding the gauge limit seems a bit excessive.
