compression tester guage?

anyone got one i can borrow??????

was gonan buy one but..40 bucks for a tool that i'm probably rarley going to use..

no thanks.

i have one

tony has one also

well mines better! because uhhh...it knows karate! yea! and it plays mp3's...Ok well not exactly Plays them but you could use it to push play on an mp3 player instead of your finger! That didnt even cost extra.

Lmao. I wanna comp. test my mr2..

i have one from harbor freight, although a differential pressure tester would be more accurate in testing for cylinder head leaks.

just pm me mr. l rock if u want to use it...

so how is the troubleshooting going? have you found anything serious yet?

i havn't done anything yet.. i 've just been busy w/ finals at school.

i didnt think i'd be this busy! so i might be able tog et to it until this weekend.

From the front of the car to the back.

Cyln 1: 120
Cyln 2: 119
Cyln 3: 115
Cyln 4: ....0!

so....what could it be???

burnt or stuck valve, broken valve spring, broken rings or ring lands.

what did it do when it crapped out?

drift!

uhh i was drifting when it happened.

but if ur refering to when iw as doing the compression test..

unlike the OTHER 3 cylinders, wheni cranked the 4th cylinder, it didnt do that on-off thing, it was like, just constant on.

soo....yeah...

i searched and checked what it might be..

i was recomended to do a leakdown test to make sure of what the problem is...

so..anyone gotta leakdown tester?

if there is zero pressure on the compression test a leak down wont work because you have to pump air into the cylinder at TDC.

Did the gauge even twitch on cyl 4?

just put cyl 4 at tdc and stick an air hose in it and listen to where the air goes.

if it comes out the intake or exhaust then your valves are bunk
if it blows past the pistons your rings/ring lands or cylinder wall is bunk

so basicaly...i'm gonna have to rip apart the engine regardless of whatever it is.....
