And Yet another DSM on Jack Stands
« on: August 07, 2010, 05:12:56 am »
So as everyone knows i have 2 eclipses and my GSX is in pretty good driving condition so i decided to fix my gst. i did a compression test and found this

#1 145psi #2 145psi #3 65psi #4 143PSi
#3 EXHAUST VALVE ->

The joy so i pulled the head today and i noticed my exhaust valve had a chunk missing and about 6 tiny pin marks on the piston. I know that the piston is fine so On with the build

yep, clean up the piston top so it won't cause detonation from hot spots, clean off the carbon from all of them(same reason and for aircare), and have a new set of valves put in.  Or just one if you want  :)  Toss in some cams too  :)
