[SR20DET] Are my rings fucked?
So my mechanical timing was off previously by 2 links on the camshaft sprockets and it was preventing my from setting my timing properly.
Previous thread: http://zilvia.net/f/engine-tech/5494...iming-off.html Now I'm really certain I have it dead on, there is 9 links between my camshaft marks, and the exhaust cam is dead on 12 o'clock relative to the engine block at TDC. Although I still can't get the timing in the right range, but I can get it at 15-16 BTDC with the CAS maxed out, however I can't get it to idle for shit. It's stumbling and dying on me at idle, but if I just hold the throttle open it will run with a bit of a vibration, or if I advance the timing past -15 it runs smoothly. IACV was never adjusted, I was told that if it's stock, don't touch it. I thought maybe my valves were bent since my cams were off, so I did a compression test. Dry: 1. 150 psi (3 pumps for about 140psi, 6 pumps for 150) 2. 150 psi (3 pumps for about 140psi, 6 pumps for 150) 3. 135 psi (3 pumps for about 120psi, 6 pumps for 135) 4. 142 psi (3 pumps for about 130psi, 6 pumps for 142) Wet (3 squirts of oil from a squirter): 1. 155 psi (3 pumps for about 140psi, 6 pumps for 155) 2. 170 psi (3 pumps for about 150psi, 6 pumps for 170) <<<<<< 3. 160 psi (3 pumps for about 145psi, 6 pumps for 160) <<<<<< 4. 160 psi (3 pumps for about 145psi, 6 pumps for 160) In case you're wondering, the reason why my rocker cover was off is because I had lifter tick after mis-shifting 3rd to 2nd at high rpm. It was running fine beforehand. Could my piston rings be fucked? |
