Damn, the L98 in my green car is jacked up. You guys might remember my old post about the idle issues. Well even after replacing a bunch of sensors the problem continued to happen, but off and on. I continued to test and replace things that didnt test good, I was not able to find the problem. I replaced everything. Tonight I decided to do a new years compression test yay! Six cyl were within 148-155 but number four and six on the pass side, those are in the 125-130 range. I still have to do the wet test and a leakdown test to see if its rings or head gasket or valves, but looks like this motor will have to come apart. Damnit!! Happy New Years everyone!! I'm gonna blow some **** up!!

 

Merry New Year!!

A 300 shot will guarnateee that engine is on a stand (or a rod ends up in a neighbors yard)!!

Why wait, make it come apart.

 

Sup crazy, have fun with it huh. Atleast you know whats wrong with it. The motor in my bike starting acting funny, and before I knew it the head was ready to come off. But I stopped myself. Though the cams are already out, and not too much stopping me from tearing the head off except money. ..... Anyone know a good shop to take my Honda F3 head into to get a valve job done?
Ok L8RS! guys!

 

Oooh, I want to see an L98 come apart... Have any plans for the block after it goes to pieces, like a stroker kit or anything?

 

Although the head gasket is probably leaking and contributing to an irregular idle, I am unconvinced that it is the primary cause of the engine problems ... somewhere in electronics is where the gremlin lives...
