JackStar Posted September 19, 2009 Posted September 19, 2009 Hi, ive just done a compression test on my gt as its running rough.The results were 1) 80 psi2) 80psi3) 170 psi4) 170 psicould this be headgasket as there are 2 cyclinders down, most unlikely for 2 sets or rings to of gone, isnt it?Jack Quote
Sparky Posted September 19, 2009 Posted September 19, 2009 Seems like a break in teh gasket between one and two.Any other headgasket symptons? Loss of coolant, overheating, oil in the water? etc Quote
Steve GT Posted September 19, 2009 Posted September 19, 2009 agreednew gasket would be my first thought lol if not then you might have to go down the engine a bit but id put money on head mate Quote
JackStar Posted September 19, 2009 Author Posted September 19, 2009 thanks for the replys, ive already started stripping the head down, no other symphon for head gasket gone, but sayying that i havent driven it yet.Jack Quote
Steve GT Posted September 19, 2009 Posted September 19, 2009 well lets hope its head bud cause its easily replaced lol if not were looking at pistons possibly matey Quote
JackStar Posted September 20, 2009 Author Posted September 20, 2009 I dont think its that bad, just sounds like a slight mifire. still its an excuse for more upgrades, getting a bit of porting and polish done whilst its off.I wanted to get the head off today but its raining again, ive got the turbo side of things off, just got to wait till it stops raining.Jack Quote
