junkyarddog Posted March 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 All new parts I think the base gasket is to thick I should have ran the 20thou like I all ways do but this was a kit so I just used what came with it I in the process of doing the heat cycles In the shop then ill do another compression check after the rings are a little more seated?

junkyarddog Posted March 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 Everything is new i got a buddy comming with a snap-on compression gauge we will se what it say against my gauge I hope my gauge is shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junkyarddog Posted March 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 Yip gauge is shot I put a brand new snap-on gauge in side by side with mine and ya shot mine said 80lbs and snap on said 125 and that's with 22 domes so I'm thinking 20's will be on target and swap the base gaskets out with 20 thou's and hope that will drop my squish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junkyarddog Posted March 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 Ya I'm so glad it was the gauge it had me stumped So I put 20cc's to it and it put out 140psi I'm going tomorrow to a local shop in the morning to buy domes either 19cc or 20cc haven't decided I think 140 is pretty good but would 145-150 be better I know 175psi is the threshold for pump gas And pump gas here is only 91oct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
