Re: Indexing Question
Lemme know if any of you have had any experience with this problem, After doing a leak down test the compression ratio jumped back to normal. All four cylinders now have 180psi. Could my valves not be seating properly in the #3 chamber? BTW the leak down results revealed no abnormal leaks.

Speed Phreak has been using the same headgasket for four years now on his 2.0 LS-***-2.0/VTEC. Head's been off three times now, he just cleans it really well and has had no problems in the 350-400 whp range. He's also what I call a very lucky man.
Feeling lucky, punk?
