Just did a compression check, here's what I measured:
108, 120, 96, 85 I've got a stock 1.8L, but would like to build a 1911 or 2056 in the relatively near future. Hopefully I'll be ok for another year or so with the current setup. |

Thanks to all for the responses (and patience, as I'm sure this topic has been covered many times..).
When I 'rebuilt' the engine, I did keep the pistons/rings/cylinders as a matching set. The cylinder ID's had no cross-hatching and, I said above, one cylinder one had a big void. Valve clearances have been set post-rebuild. Basically, I was doing a super cheap rebuild, just to get my car back on the road ASAP. Since I'm still learning how to tune etc, I figure it's better to keep driving it as is for another year, rather than spend a lot of money doing the upgrade and then destroying it because I don't know what I'm doing. On another note, I tried to sync my carbs today, found out that was impossible because my linkage bushing are all worn. Seriously considering buying the CSP bell-crank linkage now. |
