Shouldnt they be 13bar fella?

Not 100000%, but im sure thats the figure i saw somewhere. You just got em done i take it? Is the head straight? Hope it is, coz you can get back some of the money from the engine you had off me.... or IS THIS the engine you had off me????

[Chaos]

that IS the engine he had from u scott.

the water pump started leaking badly so it was replaced, and it just wont bleed properly, not that it wanted to bleed properly before the change - never known an m20 this bad for bleeding colling system

fuk me! well, i drove that car from Newcastle, to swindon, and then home to west wales and i did almost every mile in 3 figures. Sat it on the drive and left it for at LEAST 30 minutes, testing to see if the car boiled or not. Temp needle didnt go anywhere near 3/4 even! And in the whole trip back (and about 2000miles driving afterwards) it never needed topping up, bleeding, venting or anyything, and it never leaked for sure.

Have you changed the thermo?
Damn these fuking cars. dont need shit at the mo, and im sure richy doesnt either.

its all sorted now scott
this engine is gona be the death of me

spoke to someone pressures seem fine 1 bar difference on the one is nothing could be down to a follower that needs adjusting

will do them in week.

car running fine i think its just cos it was stood for so long that things like the water pump seal went etc

lets hope its all sorted

next time you see me m8 i'll be grey

iv had loads of stupid problems on my m30 cos it was sitting around before i bought it, first engine was even worse

electrical problems, cooling problems, fcuking oil pump problems, nearly torched it when that happened

those pressures look fine to me anyway as u said. shouldv seen the compressions my first m30 gave just before i pulled it out, 1 bent valve and 2 broken rings

[glenn]

i wouldn't pay too much notice to what the gauge says on the tester you borrowed mate, as the gauge can be in-accurate.
the fact that they are of the same pressure(virtually) is the good sign.
it means the head gasket is not leaking anywhere.
it means a few other things aswell, but your concerns about the head and gasket are all that matters on this subject
i, for one, am pleased for you mate.
it means nemo can live to fight another day

That's making me nervous, mines been sat here for over a month

[Simon]

As Glenn says, they're all close, that's the main thing, when one cylinder is some way out from the others is the time to start worrying.

Have you managed to bleed the system yet?

could be something to do with the way u ragged the first lump having been in it myself.....

that's what it's made for init

2nd engine had been sitting six months without being run. runs fcuking sweeeet now anyway just need longer gearing

[Toby_Unna]

double post for some reason

[orkboss]

I was going to say what everyone else has said. Ignore the reading just take it that they are all the same which is cool.

[chief]

another good test for compression is to put a spoonful of oil in each plug hole
then see if the figures alter from the first result
this will tell you more
good luck

[orkboss]

Only do this if one of the readings is low otherwise don't bother and careful with the amount of oil you put in. Only a tea spoon full.

I have no si
took long enough
i think ive mastered the art to it in this engine. They aint simple at the best of times i think this ones wants to crack me up.
