oil change and hot compression test completed. Changed oil to some Valvoline VR-1 Racing 20w-50, which is helping it idle a little better. it's not jerking around as much, but still quite a lot. I did about 4 miles of several WOT runs and 60mph cruising to get the new oil warmed up.
compression results (all plugs out, fuel relay removed, WOT): 1: 100PSI 2: 120PSI 3: 100PSI 4: 132PSI Head's gonna need to come off. Also noticed that I just started leaking some oil. HORRAY! |

I didn't see the mileage mentioned. I recently did a valve job with all new timing parts on one that burnt 2 ex valves. Bill was over 6K$ The parts are real spendy and its huge labor to get the front cover off to replace the timing parts.

Car has 155k miles.
I will be pulling everything. Got quoted $650 to refurb the head by the guy that the dealership contracts out headwork to - he's done a cosworth head before. worst case, guides are about $18 and exhaust valves are about $90... so if i've burned a few this will likely run me 1k-1.2k with gaskets and all the other crap that goes along with it, "while i'm there" like the water pump. I already have a bag of brand new, OE timing components so I'll just do that while it's apart. |
