how many rev's have you tested it at its maby a good thing to count them as cheep comp testers keep presuring up and down as thier internals arnt so great in conclusion your test readings are not so bad if say in cylinder 1 you did 7revs and 4 did 5revs this could be your issue also warm your engine up before hand it will make a diffrents

what? you turn it over to compression.

so they all will be the same

Wwhen you put oil in the cilinders the compression will rise for 2 reasons :

1) the oil will make the combustion chamber smaller , so you are compressing same volume of air into a smaller area .

2) the oil stops compression going through the rings .

You only pour oil in the cils if you have low compression in one or more cils ( like 30 %- 50 % less than the others ) , then you pour oil in there to determine if its valves or bottom end .

If compression doesn't rise quite a lot its valves , if it does rise a lot then its rings usualy .

A better test is a leakdown test , thats what you should be doing if you have a leakdown tester .

Ok, did warm test, but my bro dropped the comp tester before we started ( :goddam: ) so the results may not be accurate!

1 - 145

2 - 145

3 - 145

4 - 145

5 - 145

6 - 150

Also cleaned the AFM and when gapping the plugs found one that was stuffed! Hopefully that is responsable for my miss!

As to the crappy idle, it's better but sill not good :cuss: it still hunts wont settle, but not as bad as before (I also found a vaccume leak)... so will need to check it out more!

What's the first thing you thought when you saw those numbers?

Head gasket between 4 and 5.

Are you planning on big horsepower, lots of mods, then you might have a problem.

But it's done 120K's (at least) it runs nicely and will probably go for years. That's the hassle with Rb20's they're getting old and you have to weigh up their cost against a newer Rb25.

My latest Rb20 had 119k, runs sweet enough but has one weak cylinder. I've done about 100k since with only routine maintenance and it's still fine.

If I was to go mad with boost, it would probably die, so ultimately it's up to you.

Regards.

well done Ed G, nice figures! (hope u r feeling better now!!)

I really believe you'll find a small 'air/vac' leak soon,... I'm learning how much these motors won't tolerate the slightest escape/introduction of air.

Aren't your fellow Skliner's just ace?

    • The incentives are mostly the same, yes. Ethanol is cheap compared to the cost of doing 98-100 RON with crude oil alone. 87 to 93-94 AKI all with E10. In 2020 Canada mandated E10 as a part of their "renewable fuel standard" and is supposedly going to go to E15 in 2030. In California where there are only 8 refineries with two threatening to shut down next year it's been over 20 years now of E10 and 91 AKI maximum because there's just not enough refinery capacity or crude oil supply relative to the demand for premium unleaded fuel. And CARB's low carbon fuel standard means functionally none of the diesel available at the pump is made from crude oil anymore. It's almost all entirely 20% biodiesel blended with 80% renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) now. The number of gasoline vehicles that support E15 or higher ethanol concentrations is surprisingly low, I can't imagine it being wise to play tricks like this without flex fuel sensors in most of the fleet.
    • It's almost certainly the same as the one next to it. Have a fish around amongst these hits https://www.google.com/search?q=surface+mount+transistor+m33&sca_esv=9cb49794e0b2005d&source=hp&ei=2vJ5aNjTB7Kw0PEPldnS8QM&iflsig=AOw8s4IAAAAAaHoA6qkfmF6XcygtrZ4Vu9f92NXF_RFd&ved=0ahUKEwjYqIPP7MWOAxUyGDQIHZWsND4Q4dUDCA8&uact=5&oq=surface+mount+transistor+m33&gs_lp=Egdnd3Mtd2l6IhxzdXJmYWNlIG1vdW50IHRyYW5zaXN0b3IgbTMzMgUQIRigATIFECEYoAEyBRAhGKABMgUQIRigAUjKCFAAWABwAHgAkAEAmAHfAaAB3wGqAQMyLTG4AQPIAQD4AQL4AQGYAgGgAuYBmAMAkgcDMi0xoAfMBLIHAzItMbgH5gHCBwMyLTHIBwU&sclient=gws-wiz
    • South Australia, which is hardly as far behind as the rest pf Oz makes out, and who is also not a paragon of progressiveness (read that as over-legislation) in the area of vehicle standards, has this to say on the subject: Adjustable coil-over suspension Aftermarket adjustable coil-over suspension components are suspension units that incorporate an external thread on the main body and corresponding threaded spring saddle that allows the vehicle's suspension height to be varied. If fitting aftermarket or coil-over suspension components you must submit an Application to modify a light motor vehicle form and a report from a light vehicle engineering signatory (LVES).
    • Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers
    • Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.
