Pulseless

Got the car going into Gavin Wood on the Gold coast Wednesday for a leak down test - hopefully he will be able to give me a good idea of the condition of the motor.

Whats an acceptable level? I'm convinced the first test was fudged somehow, 180 psi? - the factory fresh specs are maximum 173. Will a leak down test provide a more reliable result?

Haha had another guy saying 175-190 psi is stock on these engines. Do you think a leak down test will give a better idea on health of the motor? edit* factory compression is 173.5248 psi exact apparently. I should also mention the 140 across the 6 was a dry test.

Long story short, buying a rb25 s15 - had a full mechanical inspection done and got the following results from the comp test: #1 – 180 psi #2 – 170 psi #3 – 135 psi #4 – 145 psi #5 – 120 psi (145 psi wet) #6 – 180 psi Those numbers to me feel off, i didn't even think they got compression levels so high. Naturally, the owners then freaked out and taken it to another place where the comp test came back 140 psi across all 6 cylinders.. So now I'm chasing a 3rd compression test and will also be forking out for a leak down test as well. So my question is 140 across the 6 an acceptable number to work with (apparently a 90k motor out of an auto stagea)? especially when I'm spending upwards of 20k on this car. Thanks for your opinion.

...they only put them on last saturday...

So i got these front tyres put on the other day from a 2nd hand place 80% tread and have noticed that the front left has a crack in it, I took it back to the shop today and they said it was fine as it hasn't bubbled up yet – but I'm still a bit skeptical.. http://i.imgur.com/XFwhx4C.jpg http://i.imgur.com/tLngSP0.jpg http://i.imgur.com/iqJOMa5.jpg http://i.imgur.com/ZSrerN8.jpg http://i.imgur.com/OrYISOH.jpg
