Compression check results:
July 2:
Dry
#1-160, #2-160, #3-165, #4-165
when i pulled plug #4, there was smoke coming out of the plug hole, but that was the only one that did it.
July 9:
Dry
#1-146, #2-140, #3-165, #4-165
July 15:
Dry
1- 140, 2- 130, 3-160, 2- 160
Wet
1- 175, 2-175, 3-175, 4- 175
Car started smoking on July 8. From what i can tell, it only does it at an idle and when i take off from a stop. Definately oil burning from the smell. No coolant loss. My friend behing me said there is a big puff of white smoke just as i started to accelerate...but not under boost.
This is still the stock motor with 161K on it. I plan on boring 20 over and getting some forged pistons if the budget allows. If not, probably some stock type pistons. If i do go the stock piston route, what rings should i get....oem, hastings, topline?
I came upon these nippon racing pistons that are coated..
are they any good?
