Ooooopppsss [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] The rods look straight.......bit blue in colour near the pin Will they be ok? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just been doing some reading......... Possible scenario..... What if the engine was running super lean, causing temps to rise high........could this affect ring tension? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What can I do then? Swap the pistons about, new rings? .........crush into a expensive paperweight ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Any other suggestions for What’s giving me this low compression across all cylinders, especially cyl 1? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thought beings I’ve used a cga3de this time, it’ll be ok, it’s only 0.5mm Would of thought I’d if done the gasket or rings before the liners gave out Il take a look once it’s in pieces again Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

After 15 miles [emoji50][emoji53] Hope not, what’s symptoms would I get with that? All I’ve got so far is low compression and smoke from the breathers Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I picked up a new head the other day, (cheers superuno [emoji106][emoji106]) so tried it with no Decomp plate [emoji106] Still same comp readings [emoji848] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Had a spare hour today. With old stuff I had: Cylinder 1- 5 bar Cylinder 2/3/4 - 7 bar Tried a new head ....... Same results [emoji848] Pulled out piston 1.......rings intact, bores look fine, hone marks still there,no signs of damage Gunna pull engine apart, rebuild, start again Sent...

Gunna buy a new head, ditch the plate. Look at pistons Done [emoji106][emoji41] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well I’ve tried it again.........[emoji23][emoji24] Won’t start, compression gone down to 7ish bar **** it !!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Had a quick go before work. All cylinders went to 7bar Put a smidge of oil down there, and went right up Cylinder 1- 10bar 2-3-4 - 12bar What does this mean then? Cylinder 1 is trashed. Or is it because I’ve only done 15miles on this fresh pistons/rings Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Had a closer look at the head and plate today I can see sort of faint ‘blast’ marks coming from the combustion chamber parts I’ve cleaned up and re-sealed and put it all back together, Hope get to comp test tomorrow, got called out so couldn’t try today Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This stag wellseal no good then. It’s what they suggested Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

2 gaskets ain’t enough to bring the cr down. That’s why I git the plate [emoji53] You think if I rebuilt it with a new head gasket and resealed the plate then over over torque it, it’ll at least let me do a comp test again Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well it looks a lot cleaner from when I put it on, the wellseal is red colour. And the plate in pic was as I found it. You reckon new head and just a gasket theb Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Used some wellseal jointing compound between plate and head as per instructions Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I over torqued them a bit .......not all of them Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well it’s dead again, after 15 miles [emoji53] Comp test showed 5 bar on all cylinders Taken head off Have some pics........ Pistons as I found them Block to gasket face Head to Decomp plate face Gasket to Decomp plate face Gasket to Decomp plate face Cleaned up the...
