Hey guys

Im gettin my intercooler, avcr tuned and split dump pipe put in

I have just recieved a phone call by one of the staff sayin

that my 6 cylinder has a lower compression then the other cylinders

all the cylinders are 150, the 6 cylinder is 130

im goin to see how it goes in about a months time and get another compression test done

Has anyone else been in this situation before.

it could be just glazed, or has some shit in there, but yeah don't know

but if it does gets worse, should i do a rebuild or be cheaper gettin a whole new engine?

Any information is great!

Thanks

Mate there is no need to rebuild your engine. How long has it been since you made an oil change? Make sure you change your oil (inc. filter) often as this will keep your engine clean and in good shape. I had something very similar and now my compression is good.

Also make sure that your injectors are all flowing consistently.

i had same prob but much more severe

5 cyls were at 115psi instead of 160psi

and cyl #3 was at bout 55psi chacked like 6 times

head came off head gasket fine bottom end looked like just rebuilt

head sent off for check came back 100% looks like rings are craped

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
