Could
Be rings then ?
Have u straight edged the head and used feeler gauges to check
The gaps
?
Indeed I have dude, I'm gonna try again though, may aswell double check. Regarding rings, the barrel itself doesn't look scored tho?

Been testing the head for any leaks within the valves. Used petrol on them to test with. So far no leaks. Head doesn't seem warped. I'm getting really confused why there's 90psi on cylinder 2...

Well...
Hasn't it been a while jeez!
Last time i posted was the day before my birthday hahahaha. Oh well, Midnight 136 is back!
i say back, more like in the back garden. Yeah she's dead again...
So whats occurred since March? Well.
I sold the polo to my sister, bought a Mark One MIATAAA, modified it to hell and got bored of it.
(Glanza was running at this moment in time)
Yes it got scribbled on at JAE! Seemed like a brilliant idea after a large amount of beer to draw on it in permanent marker hahaha.
Heres a drunk go pro shot of JAE hahaha!
Best way i could describe the MX-5 is someone offering you your least favorite food.. You'll eat it, but you're not satisfied!
So that went, F*ing boring car!
And it got replaced with a 1992 MR-2. Had to keep true to Toyota didn't i!
So the Glanza, Yeahhh Midnight-136 became a little under the weather. Compression tester her, and on cylinder 2 she had 90 psi.. :/ So i decided to pull her off the road AGAIN for the rest of the season to stop any possible further damage.
Heres one of my blog posts as i ripped the head off the poor bugger...

thats as far as ive currently got with finding the issue, im going to pull out cylinder 2 piston see if theres any issues there! -
That looks real smart!

Hey Guys!
being a while since i posted.
Glanza's still dead but big plans are happening with it in 2017! One day i'll update my build thread hahahaha!
Anyways, Here a video i'd like to share with you guys. Its about my own personal experience with suicide; and how it showed me a better light.
A better description would be my Facebook status:
"Now then. I'm not one for plastering my personal life all over social media, but I've recently being inspired to share my story.
As some of you know, I was diagnosed with schizophrenia this year. In this video I talk about my story, of how my suicide attempt showed me a better light. I know #mentalhealthawareness week has being and gone but in my honest opinion; a week to raise awareness about the severity of mental health just isn't enough.
As you can see from the video, I find parts very, very hard to talk about.
I've become very passionate about trying to help others through their rough times recently, and I wanted to expand of that, hence the making of this video.
I would greatly appreciate it if we could make this go viral, change the face of mental health for good.
Living with what I do is not easy, and it's something that unfortunately see's either extreme sides of the scale, it's not given enough of a look, or you're automatically known to be some sort of psychopath.
There is light at the end of the tunnel, believe me, you are the miracle.
Peace x"
If you could give the video a watch it would mean the world. Cheers guys!

Any ideas what a GTX28 spools like on a 4E-FTE? Wanting to go down a different route than a TD04 but don't want something as big as a GTX30 as I want the best of both worlds not just a straight line monster.

Item For Sale:
Black Racing Wheels 15's
Item Condition & Description:
Black Racing Wheels.
These are Japanese import wheels which are genuine split rims.
They were imported with my car when it came into the UK.
They are tired, and some leak air from the rim, they are bent on the lip and do require a lot of TLC. I'd say these wheels would make a good project, or would come up lovely after a wheel refurb.
Tyre's are T1R's, and probably two are salvageable.
These wheels are actually stunning in my opinion, only reason for sale is that i've moved onto a different set of wheels.
15" 8J

Price:
