onebadd66 Aug 13th, 04, 8:15 PM I sent this info to a freind as well,wanted to bounce it here too. Did a Comp. check of some of my cylinders. heres what happened: #1 160 #2 125 #3 170 #4 190 #8 150(which when I pulled out was black soot) Help........... mr 4 speed Aug 13th, 04, 9:31 PM Steve,what about the other cylinders? Might want to try a leakdown test.Did you try squirting any oil into the lower reading cylinders to see if the reading goes up? onebadd66 Aug 14th, 04, 9:46 AM Chris, only tested those cylindrs.One thing I DIDN"T do was hold open the throdel blades when doing the test graemlins/clonk.gif I'm hoping this may change everything graemlins/sad.gif yanniz Aug 14th, 04, 12:26 PM another thing that I found out when I did the test on my engine yesterday, was that you have to crank it until the gauge stops. For some cylinders it took 3-4 cranks to get to where the gauge stoped. I got between 210-212 on all my cylinders with the engine cold and throttle wide open. Just a suggestion...you might have done it that way. Defenitely do the test with the throttle open as this will allow a bunch of air in there quickly... onebadd66 Aug 14th, 04, 12:50 PM Well Did another test this time with the carb blades open.GUESS WHAT.......... All were within 3lbs of each other.Average reading was 185. Thanx guys.BTW I tossed the stupid pills in the toilet graemlins/clonk.gif MY VELLE (http://www.chevelles.com/showroom/onebadd66/DSCF0010.JPG) Motor Martyr Aug 14th, 04, 6:22 PM thats good to hear that everything is alright steve.
