Noahkk19 Posted May 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 Yeah I figured it out...Broken seal...Had the guy who sold me the car come by and look at it (He happens to be an ASE (I think that's right) certified mechanic) and we ran some mooore compression checks, he stuck some microscope tube thingie in the car looked at the cylinder as I cranked it and examined it...Perfect shape, not burnt, no springs broken...I have aftermarket pistons (which doesn't matter)...But after we poored some oil into the cylinder compression went up from 4 to 18 for about...15 seconds then went back down to 4...I'm getting everything figured out but sounds like I'm gonna have my engine taken apart by the guy who put it together and getting new seals having all the internals checked even though they are all brand new and hopefully within a month I should be back rolling...Wish me luck and thanks for all the help...It's a relief to have a definite finger pointed at something and to know that the people working on getting my car back together are willing to help...The mechanic who sold me the car put $2,000+ into getting the engine put together so he shares some heart for the car...I wish I could explain how upset he was that his work went to waste out of the blue...The way the car went was ridiculous, no symptoms no check engine light no loss of power just a random DABSLKSD and here we are...WORWEOIERWWERRWEOROWWROEI'm happy I love my car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noahkk19 Posted May 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 Oh yeah, the tell all sign was we pulled the number 3 plug again and finally found it had oil on it and the dipstick smelled like a little bit of gas... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
