Did a comp test on the motor today, #1 is holding 50psi, which is not a very good sign, so its time for replacement pistons.
gts4diehard: Cheers buddy, but ive got a spare rb20det block sitting here, gonna replace damaged pistons, put in new rings, and bearings also.
Thanks for the help guys.... will let you's know how i got next weekend when it gets ripped apart...
PS: I moved away from mitsubishi's hoping i wouldn't have to touch motors again... little did i know.. nissans are just as bad.. hehehe..jks..
