Hey guys I just did a compression test on my '89 DX with the stock DPFI. Just had this motor swapped in. Old one had the timing belt tensioner break wile runnin at 3k rpm commin from school.when I got the car back from the shop the and oil was topped off. Now 7 days later she's down past the add mark . Come to find out at day 6 I find out she smokes not bad but thin clouds of blue smoke if you blip the throttle from 2 to 3500 3 or more times. I went to work and did a compression test on her and find that the compression was...CYL #1 is 87psi,...CYL#2 and 4 are 90 psi and CYL #3 is 95. And yes I had both plates in the throttle bore open. From what I recall the specs are standard 185psi and the min is 135psi. If Im wrong please correct me. Well just for kicks I added a can of some engine restore after the compression test. I can't see how that stuff will work but in 500 miles I'm doin another test to find out. Imma post those results as well. As you can see from the CP tests that the swaped motor was used. Really used. I'm just in a pissed mood and need to vent. BTW I'm goin back to that shop and havin' a few words with them monday. Peace

 

let us know how the "few words" go aswell.

 

id be alittle heated. with compression that low im surprised the car even moves
