prasamin Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 since when compression test became such a fragile job that normal volvo dealership can't run simple thing like compression test?it has nothing to do with how fragile or easy the test is, it has to do with how careless and useless some dealers are.

mrmattson Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 I think we all know what the dealer is going to say. Dealer: "Hey, sonny boy, your car's bad, why don't you take a look at one of these new C30s over hear, I can get you a great deal on your trade..."Baker: "Oh, really, gee that's nice of you. Sure! Where do I sign?" :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAzOR Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 It's easy to screw up a compression test. Dealer techs run the range in competency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prasamin Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 i don't know what those numbers mean, although the compression seems somewhat consistent....what does leak down mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prasamin Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 okay, so after reading about those, they seem normal.....Baker should get one more test done somewhere independent though just for peace of mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaitz Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 okay, so after reading about those, they seem normal.....Baker should get one more test done somewhere independent though just for peace of mind.Shouldn't they be higher? Stock is supposed to be higher and this engine has higher compression pistons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prasamin Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 also reading that lower compression, but okay leak numbers could mean timing is off a bit, which was also found.Shouldn't they be higher? Stock is supposed to be higher and this engine has higher compression pistons?no, these pistons were stock compression pistons from Wiseco....if anything, after overboring, the compression might have dropped a bit.

prasamin Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 someone get charles or greg or someone in here to tell us what those numbers mean.R-sports, at least mine, were higher then stock t5.yeah, when you ordered them, you should specify what compression you want....mine were stock 8.5:1, as were most of the others they were sending out....if you didn't specify, they sent you 8.5:1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like the only person Baker really hurt besides Boomin was himself by giving his car a stigma which will make it near impossible to sell.
