And the battle continues........

Timed the engine on points,ran a compression test again still did the slow build up starting to think that compression tester is maybe defective or ill need to try another one or try that same one on another engine to confirm... havent start the engine to see if its still doing the low vac issue...

Well fire that puppy up, you might have fixed it lol

Is your idle control plugged in properly, if thats not opening to keep the motor running, rpm will be down as well as vacuum  

illl start sometime this week.. just need time to finish mount up other components.....am running no IAC/Idle control.....

This is the slow compression build up i was referring to 

How did you lap the valves, and why?

Do a leak down test or at least out air into the cylinders, I reckon you have valves not Sealing correctly. That's my current guess anyway

when i pulled down the head while communicating with you guys i did a kerosene leak down to see if any vales were leaking and if there was any only one or two which was slight on the exhaust side. Intake had no sign of leakage and i did all valves with the head turn over and the kerosene settle on the valve based..... so am trying to get another compression tester dont have access to a leak down tool..... 

 

Reason why i lapp the valves well more fine on intake and coarse and fine on the exhaust is cause the last two valves of the exhaust had a slight bend so all 12 valves were lapp over on the exhaust which change the clearance i believe....and after that is when this issue was shown..... I already change the clearance to tomei spec of 0.018 thou on the intake... i may/might start the engine and see if what i did made any difference...Engine time on points am only left to believe either the vct might have a play in this but i doubt 

 

 

all that was done to the head when taken off was - Replace exhaust #11 and #12, Tomei 1.2 head gasket,stock head bolts torque to nissan specs,changed valve seals ,lapp intake with fine and exhaust with fine and coarse...Thats about it....

Have you done a wet compression test at all?  I'd like to see a dry then a wet test and see if there is much difference.  I realise that the focus is on the head and valves being the issue [and I tend to agree], but a wet comp test would confirm this.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
