Did a compression test today too.

All good except cylinder number 1, it's nearly 400kpa down on the others which were really consistent. Poured some oil down it and it came good so yeah f**k ring in that cylinder.

Bit annoying, but at least that explains why I lose about 500mL of oil between changes (5000km).

If you're pulling the engine out to put manual in, then do the piston rings when you do that.. might aswell. If not, well...fix it soon, you can get some headwork done too, or take the block somewhere, and get it cleaned, and whatever else you might need... will definately go better, and with better fuel economy after that.

Also if you're change the piston rings, do all of them.. And if you can be bothered, I heard the ED pistons were flat dished icon_wink.gif

Must suck to have a piston ring go... but its s**t like that, that'll give you an excuse to get something better. And atleast you found out what it was.


Cheers

Hehe yeah it sucks, but your right it lets you go and get something better.
I've been wanting an ITS rebuild, will probably just save up for a Stage 1 or something...

Does my EBII have an ED motor anyway if the dipsticks and stuff are all yellow? It's like a mid-late 93 model...

There's not that much difference. Ive got an XH engine in my series 2 EB, and all the dipsticks are yellow, and the head says 94DAT or something rather... (assuming its an ED/EF head)... EB's weren't made in '94, so check the head?


Cheers
