To use or not to use "Engine Restor & Lubricant"
#22
-Well actually i didnt do damage. Damage would be blown head gasket, spun rod, broken rod, etc. wich i did not do. I wore out the valve guides and rings and/or possibly cylinder walls. That is engine wear not damage.
-As for the high mileage, what do you consider high mileage cause mine is already at over 100k miles.
Compressions are pretty low
-Cyl. 1 -- 155
-Cyl. 2 -- 145
-Cyl. 3 -- 155
-Cyl. 4 -- 145
A new 2azfe should read about 189 and the minimum for a good motor is 145. As you can see im pretty much right on border line.
-Spark plugs look normal.
-Vacuum's read ~19-20in.hg. on cold engine wich is normal for my location. Once engine is warmed up, vacuum's fluctuate ~4in.hg. at idle and at any cruising speed. Only when i hit WOT will it stop fluctating and hit 0 when the turbo was taken off the car.

a-mendoza don't waste your time with that engine restore that stuff will only gunk up your motor. my sagestion to you is to baby the car until you can afford to rebuild or replace the motor. good luck man

^^thats what i was afraid of. Well guess ill be backing out on this and just hope for the best till the summer wich is just around the corner.
By the way, havent even installed the tranny that i bought from you yet due to this. Should have it thrown on after the engine build. I guess ill soon find out how well you put the tranny together cause right now its still just sitting in my garage so havent gotten to test it out yet.

wat kinda of compression tester did u use by chance...the cheaper ones read lower... ur readings are low but consistant so i wouldnt really worry too much about the motor right now itll be fine till u get a buult one

^^ Testing was done with a Snap-on compression tester so i know these readings are accurate. Im sure it'll hold up till then though. Ive been babying it this last month and its still running so yea. I was just trying to garantee it to last by using this stuff but now im just gonna hope for the best.
