another BHG

lol i have a few questions never done a compression test before

how many times do i crank the engine over so forth so on?
How many times do i test each cyl. to get a proper test done
Cam cover need to be put on? Ground wires?

 

[IJ.]

Bare head will be fine

Open throttle 100% Crank 2>3 times for each cylinder and have a backup battery and jumper leads ready in case it gets low.

Watch the gauge it'll peak and then drop back a touch this is enough any more cranking will just flatten the battery!

btw pull the efi fuse too if ur worried about it actually starting up

 

[bobiseverywhere]

Thanks Ian

i wont have to worry about the throtle since it will just be the head nothing else is attached to it yet. Or are you saying i should be asembling everything else first

 

[IJ.]

Bob: LOL nope no other assembly required!

Do as Justin says though and pull the EFI fuse so you're not spraying fuel around!

 

[bobiseverywhere]

good point i will do so then

 

[IJ.]

Have you dumped the Oil yet?
(Don't want to be pumping it through the motor doing the comp test)

 

[bobiseverywhere]

was about to do that. so nope not yet

Thank you IJ and Justin727 for all the help.

 

[IJ.]

Very welcome Bob!

 

[Justin727]

No problem bob! Good luck and I hope nothing serious is wrong with the engine internally

 

[bobiseverywhere]

Me too

I was thinking when i go to crank it over drain the oil but dont refill it. I was only thinking that since nothing else is hooked up and well oil will come out for the turbo connection or fill it back up with good oil and then crank it and to bad about the oil coming out.

 

[IJ.]

Is there coolant in the oil?

 

[bobiseverywhere]

yes

 

[IJ.]

Dump it out grab some cheap oil to use while you test it

just stick the turbo feep into a container

Then if the motor tests ok dump the cheap oil and fill with something good

 

[bobiseverywhere]

Will Do :biglaugh:

 

[IJ.]

Sorry but I don't hold much hope that your motor survived Bob
(really hope I'm wrong)

 

[Justin727]

i as well. Hope ian is wrong

 

[bobiseverywhere]

I have a bad feeling too. but there is still hope left. My engine is evil but somewhere deep in there. there still is some good left. LOL all that aside

we will see. If i have to get another engine i am going to have to pay someone to put it in cause i am just not able to do a job that big.

 

[bobiseverywhere]

Ok here are the numbers Guys

Sorry it took an extra day my landlord got pissed at me doing work on my car in the garage

I did not put any oil in any of the cylinders to get these numbers
PSI
#1 - 158
#2 - 160
#3 - 80 :3d_frown:
#4 - 145
#5 - 170
#6 - 165

I might just put it back together and run this engine into the ground. It would be cheaper for me to buy another engine and stuff it in, then to repair the one i have now

 

[Justin727]

ah man im sorry to hear that. gosh that sucks. Well time to find a jdm and do the hg job to the jdm... good luck bob. Agian sorry to see those results
