SR20 issues

Man that's bad I hope you didn't pay him for the job... It's hard to imagine what he could have done to archive 70PSI. Perhaps he forgot rings? Where did you get the block? Presume you didn't reuse it if it threw a rod. Are you reusing the head? More info pls!

You guys pretty much nailed what I was thinking, but didn't want to say... He is trying to tell me there is a "Compression Hole", but that sounds like utter bullshit and just another excuse. He also said a lifter could be stuck, but that doesn't have a damn thing to do with valves closing and holding compression.

I never saw the paperwork from the machine shop, but I know it has stock pistons, new rings, new stock headgasket and arp headstuds. The head supposedly had a valve job, new valve seals, resurfaced and some other shit done. All of the internals looked brand new before they were installed, but I think he really fucked something up when he was building it...
