Guest AlexTC Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Hello there everyone! Well its been my dream since i was 8 years old and now i got it! Its in very good conditions and full service history including 3 in Japan with all the paperwork. Just done BG Service pack with engine flush and etc.... ~ Done my compression test and first 5 were around 190 and n6 was 100 only.... what can be a problem??? Now thinking how to start my project with updates! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarleyFDMD Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Doing engine flushes on older engines can cause problems, sometimes it's only the carbon keeping everything together lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Hi Alex. Assuming the test was done properly, you have a compression issue. As 5 or 6 tend to be the ones to go, it probably is right. I would check for symptoms of gasket failure first, but the colour of the smoke from the exhaust will be an indicator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Do, or have a garage do, a proper leak down test whilst the engine is still hot / warm. It is far more revealing of issues than a simple compression test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AlexTC Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 I know that but in my case it went quiet well and engine feels much better now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be doing a test this week to see if its still the same and then will do a leak test... No smoke.. everything is fine so far.. cant even feel it missing... i know its hard to feel it on them but anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
