Engine trouble shooting help needed
Hi i have a 3l ,Webers, 964 cams, 9.8;1 comp, headers running MSD programmable 6530 ignit .
Just got the motor running today and it is chuffing (like a steam train) on # 2 popping and spluttering up through the Weber at #2. I have compression tested #2 and it is showing 125psi (cranking)any ideas what it could be? The motor has just have work done on # 2 ie valves, new piston,rings,2nd hand head.as a piece of steel when through. I have just fitted the MSD could that give me these symptoms? Thanks John Last edited by slow car; 06-22-2011 at 01:55 AM.. Reason: spelling |

Not an expert, but shouldn't the engine take a little bit of time to seat the rings? I would think the carbs or MSD have nothing to do with the mechanical compression as you can get a reading without these parts on the car.
Did you take a reading from any other cylinders? |
