Hohenwald,
Tennessee
I've got a couple of problems that have popped up, 1 is small and the other is, I did a compression test after my second drive of the engine, and it came back
1 172
2 145
3 127
4 177
These 2 things I can think of, I'm not surprised cylinder 3 is the lowest (although that's much to low) because I gapped the softer ring slightly to big, 0032 (or 33, its written somewhere, I'll check tomorrow)
I believe.
The other thing is the break in seating of the rings, on my first drive I got into 15 psi and dropped the gas at 5500, i would have gone higher but my afr was 17-1, i couldn't predict the maf comp with it being the first drive.
I did 2 more pulls going to 5000 and decel.
So hopefully i just need to rev higher and decel from 7k or so.
Everything is new, and the engine is acting great overall.
The second problem is when I'm coming to a stop and put the car in neutral, or hold the clutch, the idle will climb from 1500 to 2k before it cuts, drops back to 1500 and repeats. That ones not a huge deal, maybe someone knows something about it.
Any help is appreciated, thank you

I believe it was only happening while rolling, when I stop it sits high (2k ish) without bouncing.I've got a couple of problems that have popped up, 1 is small and the other is, I did a compression test after my second drive of the engine, and it came back
