I am so disapointed to find that those compression are not even right! I did it all wrong, I crancked it for a couple times and the compression turn out to be 180 for all 4, and then I turn the key to off position and crancked it again, I turn the key to off position and crancked in total of 3 times which add up the compression to 200 and 210, so in reality, the compressions are only 180 for each cylinder. I have no idea what's wrong with my car anymore. I got high comp 12:3:1 pistons, ultralite rods, new rod bearings, and even oil pump and water pump, timing belt. the only thing that's not new is the crank and its bearing. My method of break in....my builder said just drive like 500 miles normal and doing it this way, I will not overload the new rod bearings and everything else should be fine. so, help me out, there is nothing apprearancely wrong with my car. could it be that every mods such as the skunk2 camshafts are installed in normal spec with no adjustment at all that might had cause this..........the car is untune and runs like shit.......I am in the process of getting hodata and tune it. but i doubted that this would have anything to do with the compression ratio. Any idea of what I should check for this low compression problem????could it be that some of the crank bearings are broken or the crank itself? help please.....thanks
