Yep that unfortunately looks like it, as everything else has been done without taking the engine apart and everything looks fine, all timing was re-checked yet again to no surprise it was fine and I wish it was the timing that would be an easy fix but putting even half a degree in and the engine will prob shoot a piston out the bonnet :nyaanyaa:

edit:

when this engine is stripped for the 3rd time a full report will be done on the teardown just so the original engine builder can be told and shown by a 3rd party

Reading this entire thread makes you just shake your head, really it does.

Seriously but, how the fck did you come to the conclusion that the rings are upside down without even having the head off? Why are your compression tests totally different from one another? Why did you oil squirters snap off the first time? Did the same person rebuild this motor?

If this was an engine builder he would be out of business, end of story.

I think someone else here had a go at building there own motor personally, and the whole thing has ended up in a shit heap.

Best of luck building it the 3rd time lol.

First off cool story bro and if you can come up with a suggestion without pulling the head off speak now or forever shut up.

I didn't come to the conclusion a tuner/ builder and another highly recognized tuner (obvious reasons I'm not mentioning business names or tuners) came to the conclusion and with a problem that shows no obvious signs of what can be the problem, and every test to try and find the problem without taking the head off, my guess is your answer if this problem was presented to you is "it's fckd mate".

The reason for the tests is because if you have any idea (which you don't) is not to void warranty/ liability with the business that built the motor (and yes it was sent back to the original builder).

As for being out of business for a returned service/ product "end of story" every business in Australia...wait...the world would be out of business by your belief, and your "thinking" I'm shocked that you can put one foot in front of another each morning.

A number of reasons can pull different results, changing weather, cold/ hot, different gauges...etc.....far out I just realized why am I arguing with an idiot no one will know the difference >_<.

:thanks:

Firstly, Im not your "bro". Lets get that out of the way.

Secondly, your calling me an idiot? Do you want to know how many times I have rebuilt my motor?

Once.

That's right, I did it once the first time and I did it right, and it was a hybrid 30/26. I remember reading your other thread about oil squirters snapping off and thinking what the fck has happend there, so going back to my original question, did you take it back to the same builder? If so your dumb.

Different gauges is not an excuse as to why you had a compression test and recieved totally different results. I mean where not talking a few PSI difference here, you literally went from one extreme to another which is just not possible regardless of the type of gauge, hot day, you name it. I mean why would you be using different gauges anyway? You would use the same comp gauge each time to maintain consistancy.

If your an engine builder, and you do this for a living, you don't put rings in upside down. It's the most basic point of call and generally not something that is mucked up, even then it would not explain why you have massive inconsistencies in your comp results. I won't bother explaining why this is so because you most likely won't understand anyway.

In short, your an idiot.

Good day.

Another cool story bro, you keep doing this we will become bff :teehee:

The reason for not explaining is because you can't, come on oh great engine builder that doesn't get anything wrong. Here's something to comprehend nimrod thousands of people develop and test a multitude of various gadgets and gizmos to help people and I bet when there making these things they think the same thing this can't/ won't go wrong...then it happens, you do something a million times over odds suggest YOU WILL GET IT WRONG AT LEAST ONCE look it up BRO that my friend is basic and because you can't comprehend that makes you such idiot.

Basic trade law interpretated says any business that either provides service or product can ask to have said service re-done free of charge or product send back for refund or replacement within reason and if failed a second time can be charged (relating to service) the fee from someone else to have the work done again, which is provided that the work done second time around fails is because of them (the engine builder).

So in short remember breathe in then breathe out as you will die if this is not repeated through your life and putting one foot in front another will lead you to a long walk off a short cliff and provide many lulz (at your expense)

You've made your point buddy, but unfortunately when you rock up with all the expertise in the world and spout this cynical shit at the OP because you think you're oh so great, you're let down by the fact you've contributed 56 posts in a touch over 3 years to this lovely forum. Given your previous posts in this thread, I'd say there's a good chance you're saying what you are due to having heard someone else say it in the past.

I'm sorry but it's just so rich to go putting bold text for sarcastic emphasis into your post, yet boast such a low contribution...

Even if someone is an idiot or completely wrong (not saying anyone here is) there's no need to get in a huff and feel the need to bring their rep down, can go about these things in a more civil mature manner that way everyone learns something.

I am the OP and champ with the name Trozzle coming into my thread speaking of contribution of 56 posts in a touch over 3 years and all your posts (give or take being useless entries as that is what a troll does) thats a bit rich coming from you as all your valid posts would equal mine...maybe hahaha....Are you positively annoyed friend?

I (and everyone else involved with my engine) would love to be wrong on this then the engine wouldn't need to taken apart, and which is why I posted this in case anyone else has the same problem in the future.

As for the negative rep, you can't help that people read something on a forum and just have the need to neg something because they can even if it's non-related to them, I haven't neg'd any post in my thread.........yet

The view is good from up here, how is it in the ditch :whistling:

Either way still post up what was wrong, once you have found out.

U sure you don't have one of these: Variable Compression Ratio (VCR) engines

Just a small joke, go on have a little chuckle. And i completely agree with you about warranty and taking it back to original mechanic/builder.

    • Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!
    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
