Re: Low Compression After Overhaul
Good morning,<br /> I appreciate all of your help and suggestions. As far as a time line, I rebuilt this motor last July and have never been really satisfied with its performance. I was discouraged and did not really know what to do. Only recently did a friend suggest that I try an "Online Forum" to get help from others that do this stuff everyday.<br /> Again thank all of You for your help and please accept My apology for not responding in a timely manner.<br /> As for the motor, I have found that the crankcase halves are leaking due to the fact that I did not use the proper "Crankcase Sealant"<br />I believe that the crankcase leaking (I can see 2 places that has blown out) for sure explains the less than desireable performance. All of this time I thought that I had an ignition problem. I have not addressed the compression problem yet but I did put the incorrect valve core in my compression gage. Hopefully the compression is acceptable and just my readings are wrong.<br /> I will keep you posted as things develop. It will be several weeks for sure. <br />Thanks <br />H
