Just pull my plugs and did a compression test cyl1 100psi, cyl2 95 psi, cyl3 65psi, cyl4 85psi, cyl5 95psi, and cyl6 70psi. Looks like there's a bit of oil sitting on the pistons too. I'll start tearing it down next week sometime.



I'm pretty sure this will get me into that non-running rb club.

ouch man!

Just gives you an excuse to toss some forgies in the mofo!

We're all in the non-running rb club at some point or another...some people more than others (such as myself, although she's running at the moment, we'll just have to see how long lol)

Good luck...post some pix of the rebuild if you can.

Ouch--hang on, weren't you having "to much heat and power loss in 3rd gear" or was that someone else?

That was me. I found that the electrode for the number 6 coil had come off. I was thinking the computer may have leaned it out or advanced timing to compensate for it going so rich but, that's just a guess.
