congrats to user redforks on getting approved for a replacement engine. get in her bud we luv it

 

Thanks rev such a huge relief I don't have to replace it myself.

 

i think my engine is on its way out. having the hot start problem. gonna check compression this weekend and seafoam if needed.

 

anyone know where i can get a zoom engine clean for my 8? one thats reliable and will actually do it correctly?

i heard someone say they pay a shop to do it for like a 100 bucks.

the closer to los angeles, the better.

thanks

 

slintx: Check out Lucky7 racing, let him know Jorge from the SevenStock group sent you.
they'll take good care of you.

 

will do, thanks!

 

Yeah, Tony and the guys at LUCKY 7 RACING took care of my car when I brought it there. It's about an hour drive on the 210 freeway from L.A.

 

soooo rotor 1 compression

kpa
1: 760
2: 760
3: 770
RPM 303


rotor 2
kpa
1: 790
2: 740
3: 740
rpm 281

i dont really see the difference in rotor 1 and 2 and how rotor 1 is "not good"

 

rotor 1 cranked at a higher RPM so when you normalize those readings for the standard 250 rpm you get

664.24
664.24
674.24
All 3 of those are below spec

Rotor 2
732.99
682.99
682.99
All of those are IN spec despite a chamber difference of 50

between the two rotors you're seeing a deviation of 58.75
