No Vacuum at lower RPM (RB25DET NEO)

[DTT_Eruc]

And the battle continues........

Timed the engine on points,ran a compression test again still did the slow build up starting to think that compression tester is maybe defective or ill need to try another one or try that same one on another engine to confirm... havent start the engine to see if its still doing the low vac issue...

Well fire that puppy up, you might have fixed it lol

Is your idle control plugged in properly, if thats not opening to keep the motor running, rpm will be down as well as vacuum

This is the slow compression build up i was referring to

Yeah that doesn't look right

How did you lap the valves, and why?

Do a leak down test or at least out air into the cylinders, I reckon you have valves not Sealing correctly. That's my current guess anyway

well unfortunately it was an issue with the compression tester i did a compression test on a sr20 engine and it did that same thing....

when i pulled down the head while communicating with you guys i did a kerosene leak down to see if any vales were leaking and if there was any only one or two which was slight on the exhaust side. Intake had no sign of leakage and i did all valves with the head turn over and the kerosene settle on the valve based..... so am trying to get another compression tester dont have access to a leak down tool..... 

 

Reason why i lapp the valves well more fine on intake and coarse and fine on the exhaust is cause the last two valves of the exhaust had a slight bend so all 12 valves were lapp over on the exhaust which change the clearance i believe....and after that is when this issue was shown..... I already change the clearance to tomei spec of 0.018 thou on the intake... i may/might start the engine and see if what i did made any difference...Engine time on points am only left to believe either the vct might have a play in this but i doubt 

 

 

all that was done to the head when taken off was - Replace exhaust #11 and #12, Tomei 1.2 head gasket,stock head bolts torque to nissan specs,changed valve seals ,lapp intake with fine and exhaust with fine and coarse...Thats about it....

Where do your timing marks line up to, yellow or red?

I'm about out of ideas...

I NEED A STICK OF DYNAMITE  LOLLLLLLL 

Fired up the engine today and the same problem what the hell could this possibly mean,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Have you done a wet compression test at all?  I'd like to see a dry then a wet test and see if there is much difference.  I realise that the focus is on the head and valves being the issue [and I tend to agree], but a wet comp test would confirm this.
