When I get the car back I will reassemble the head lock the lifters (any ideas on how to do this) and try the timing at several different positions with some wax on the pistons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustyae86 Member 46 Member For: 13y 1m 22d Posted 01/09/13 04:44 AM Share Posted 01/09/13 04:44 AM is there a common compression reading these cars get in good health mick? I'm curious/paranoid now so maybe I'll do a comp test and leak down test on it and see if I get anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to sort out my low vacuum issue but car reads fine compression wise, would a leak down test show anything?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
