Before i rebuilt my motor, It ran great , i lost compression in the #3 cyl.. I picked the car up today.I had the balance shafts removed(used the proper kit from S.B.R.), block bored .20 over, rebuild kit from S.B.R. head reworked with a 3 angle valve job, crank was polished and the oil journals were opened a little for better lubrication at higher rpm's .WELLLLL..
1.I think the isc motor is completely shot.. my car pulses between 700-1000 rpm at idle...Is the ISC motor off of a n/a 2.0 motor the same as mine?
2.It drinks gas like a bandit.I filled the car completely up with 93 octane and drove it 44 miles, now the gas hand is almost on the 3/4 tank mark!! Mostly cruising on the highway at about 85mph.
3.At idle the oil pressure guage is reading about normal(for the stock guage). BUT, when i get up into the higher rpm range the oil pressure guage will only go directly on the mark under the OIL (on the factory guage). That worries me!!! Even at 85 mph it went there and stayed!
4.It has no where near the power of the old motor.. I understand it is new, and only has about 150 miles on it, but i was expecting a little more..Will this change? Everyone is telling me the motor is still TIGHT.. and thats the reason for problems 2,3, and 4.. could this be true?
5.The valves are taping.
6.The exhaust is LOUD AS HELL!!!!! I have a 3' exhaust from the O2 housing, going thru a magnaflow muffler.. Before the rebuild, it was deep toned with a low rumble, NOW it sounds as if i have taken the muffler off!
7. can i use a smaller oil filter to get the oil pressure up?
PLEASE HELP ME! I AM VERY CONCERNED, AND
!
