• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

OK welp i guess I'll be THAT guy....

Hey chief look again 3.6 isn't installed... I will not add mods without supporting mods as well. I also have some heavy a$$ 18s are you going to tell me I have a trans or axle issue too. Oh, wait those aren't on the car either. The other people have done nothing but help. Do you want to help? Be constructive.. I'm not butthurt, I only have so much patients for a$$holes who can't pay attention or read. I didn't
Rule out the possibility of having a chipped piston, but the ignition issue seems to have been resolved for now.

On a side note-
fuel filter has been replaced as of 4pm and the fueling issue seem to be slowly getting better. Scope may be acquired soon.

Hey guy YOUR damn sig says you have a 3.6 so 99.999999999% of the forum would believe that if its in your sig it would be mods already installed on the car! Maybe I should go ahead and list the entire ZZP catalog in my sig because I don't have them installed on my car either.............
 
I have the 3.6 sitting on top of my tool box. I chose not to install it untill i got some valid scans not a stupid bluetooth checking KR. I'm not here to argue just trying to find answers
 
I did a compression check and #1 is getting about 125psi and the others at 150psi. I believe it's a burnt exhaust valve on cylinder one from running lean because of the vacuum leak. Anyone have a set of heads for sale? I had someone trying to trade for a 97 2 door with some issues but I think I'm just going for a rebuild.
 


would a valve train issue cause that drop? the rings are good(with respect to 188k), my father did a sketchy test to check. He put about 3 oz of seafoam directly in cylinder #1 and did a compression check, went to 125psi.
 
I know its like shooting in the dark but do you think it would be a possible burnt valve from running lean before I changed the vac lines?
 
you need to do a leakdown test before you can have a good idea of the health of the motor. a compression test only tells you so much.
 


Yeah I like that whole at least I have "something" perspective... lol
anyone have a borescope I can rent??
 
Buy one and then return it?

Also, if you were out beating on it with the vacuum leak for long enough...it could have caused damage...but who knows.

I'd be in the garage just yanking the head off, lol.
 
Does your local autozone or advance have the loan a tool program. If so get a baroscope from them would be free in the long run as opposed to waiting on someone to ship one etc etc
 
They don't have one...O'reilly even let me down. special order so I would be waiting regardless
