Andy 3i Posted March 27, 2013 Author Share Posted March 27, 2013 My guess was that the cam was holding the valves open ever so slightly? I'm baffled because i was expecting everything to be mangled... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 But isn't that second compression test with no cams fitted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy 3i Posted March 27, 2013 Author Share Posted March 27, 2013 True, but I'm not 100% sure on the gauge. It's off ready to go to the engineers. I filled the inlet ports with wd and it has leaked a minimum amount...but leaking is leaking really. Hopefully it's just a valve or 2, but I'm prepared for 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Might be worth them taking a bit off the face to bump the compression up a bit? Could probably get away with 1.5mm if it's not been skimmed before, as long as you're happy to run it on super unleaded! I could do you a chip to suit..

Craig855S Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 You say it's leaked WD out, surely that means its buggered? Ive never had to deal with bent valves before but have tested heads for leakage in the past to see if a valvelapping is in order (which I went ahead and did anyway as it cant do any harm) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy 3i Posted March 28, 2013 Author Share Posted March 28, 2013 It leaked out of one valve...the head shop was more than happy with the valves...apparently one was bent - which was replaced and the others had crap stuck under them apparently . Either way they were happy that they were all sealing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahmotorsport Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Just lap them in and be done with it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
