Someone lite a fire under my lazy ass to rip my engine apart. I have the correct valvespring compressor and I know it is probably just an intake valvestem seal. I want my 500 BHP (400 WHP, you bet your ass I can tune it to that level) STI on the damn street already. Tess bought me the Red Racer Boost gauge for father's day. I need to get cylinder 3 to stop eating oil like it was gasoline.

Yes, all 4 pistons have 120 PSI dry compression. Yes, all pistons have less than 5% leakdown. It has to be a seal (or god I hope not, a guide).

dont worry bro, my car is up and running again and so far i have 1000 miles on the new motor and GT65 , by the end of the following weekend is when me and wayne will start tuning it too 26 + psi on meth.

[sti_kris]

in other words get to work.

[scby rex]

um get up and go do it gabe

[gabedude]

I was going to last night but ended up playing more GTA4. Lol. Anyway, it will only take like an hour at best to get the heads off. Then maybe 10 minutes to label and pull the valves out of cyl 3. Then another 30 to pull #3 piston (just to make sure).

The SAR battles are going to be fun. You better damn well be in the low 12's at least Javi. I can give you a few pointers at the strip to get you into the 11's (or just let me drive it).

I plan on being in at least the low 12's if not 11's.

until i get a new clutch, after i get my set up i'll have to avoid the strip let alone any hard launches or i can say bye to the stock clutch

You better. If you can trap 109 there is no reason not to be in the low 12's. 113 and above you better be in the 11's. Well, those are my goals at least. YMMV. I suppose I will trap around 115-120, so I am guessing mid-high 11's. Plenty fast for a street car.

[andrewt461]

hmm, compression and leakdown - you got them tools? =)
(care to share? haha)

it's been a while since you've had that engine out man, just do an all nighter and wrap it up, get it on the road and enjoy that feeling of being done w/ the crap!

[sti_kris]

yeah he's got the tools.

i'm hoping once i get my fp green in i'll try close to 110 or above i'm at 104 right now with just a otc stage 2

[JAVSTI]

ya i traped at 110 on the cobb ots map, and ran a 13.01@110. that was still on stock vf39 and ots cobb map.
