Do you think I got screwed, or is it just part of the hobby?
Ok guys, I have an update on the engine situation for those of you who are interested. After letting it sit for a couple months and building up the interest to work on it again, I took the hood off and did a leakdown test on the engine, before I pull it out, to get an idea of what I'm looking at. It seems I only have one bad cylinder. I was very impressed with the other 7 cylinders. I did the leakdown test cold, since I didn't want to let it run and hurt the engine any more, and I also did not put any oil in the cylinders before checking. One cylinder showed 7% leakdown, the others 5%, and one only showed 3% leakdown :cheers:. However, I do have one bad cylinder, the #1 cylinder, and it has 30% leakdown at TDC, but only 20% leakdown at BDC. So, just for fun, what are your opinions before I get the head off? I think since it has a higher leakdown at TDC than bottom, that I have a wrist pin chewing up my cylinder wall, and it is a wrist pin knocking around and not a bearing, especially since my oil pressure is still great. I don't think I'd have broken rings because I would think there would be little to no sealing at all going on there. Anyways, thats my guess, what do you all think?
