lastlegwarrior Posted September 20, 2004 Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 i went out and worked on the shee today and checked to make sure the head was sealing ok, and it was and i still got a 50psi reading in each cylinder. I was just wondering what would cause a seized ring? Also if i have one what should i look for as an indicator? I will also check for a bad seal on the compression tester the next time i get a chance. Also someone said bad seals would not cause bad compression, right? (just wanted to make sure) Just want to say thanks, you guys have been great, keep the info coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txblueshee Posted September 20, 2004 Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 I have a shitty compression tester... I could go out right now and my 'shee would read maybe 75lbs and it would bleed off. It'll start on the first kick and run like a raped ape though. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lastlegwarrior Posted September 20, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 i wish it was the compression tester, but i checked it out on a car and my buddy's shee. 150psi in the car and 125psi in the shee, thanks though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmatt Posted September 20, 2004 Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 I was just wondering what would cause a seized ring? Too much oil on the piston and cylinder walls when you put it together. It turns to burnt carb and builds up on the rings. I don't think that this is common, but I have heard of it happening. Are you sure that you have the right pistons? Maybe you were sent pistons for a long rod motor with a raised wrist pin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
