lew777 Posted November 24, 2011 Author Share Posted November 24, 2011 if it was piston related wouldnt the other cylinders be down on pressure aswell?i only say that because the other cylinders seem quite high in pressure Quote Link to post Share on other sites
N80Jamie Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 if it was piston related wouldnt the other cylinders be down on pressure aswell?i only say that because the other cylinders seem quite high in pressureNot the case dude unfortunately. Mine and Starbucks project GT was high on cylinder 1,3,4 and 120psi on cylinder 2! We did the oil down the chamber jobby and its new engine time for us! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dean @RW-Developments Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 if you do a leak test turn the head upside down and pour petrol in them to see if it leaks past the valves/guides Quote Link to post Share on other sites
