Many cars do have neutral inhibit on manuals. The Holden Cruze has such a crap handbrake they will roll away unless you crank it on hard and the owners manual specifies to leave in gear. Mate had one roll out his driveway across the road into neighbor's yard. Everyone was ok luckily , and from my perspective it was very funny.
When you name he kid you should announce that by writing the name in burnouts somewhere. Keep the theme alive.
Each announcement equals burnout for some reason.
I seriously cant see why the hell anyone would pay so much for old jap cars now that there are heaps of better options around. They made sense when they were a somewhat good value performance car, but now? No way. Slow, old, broken, expensive.
Was the first test done after the cams went in or before?
Why did you do a comp test? Does something seem wrong?
Personally I would just ignore results and carry on.
It is a piece of metal, you could put that in a chamber and pressurise it to 1000's of PSI, or KPa's and it will be fine. You will never kill it with boost.
Why does that bother you? It will be full of oil pretty quick, just crank over with plugs out of you are worried. Once the oil is in there it can't come out.
