Misssppelllleddd Posted January 6, 2009 Report Posted January 6, 2009 Ok my mods are in my sig. When I rebuilt I coated the cylinder walls with oil and the pistons too. I did a compression check and turned out to be 180lbs. Thats just what I wanted. After break in I checked it again and I came up to about 185lbs. I can work with that. After about 10hours of riding I did another check with two compression gauges and it turns out I'm pushing 205lbs in each cylinder. Is this really plausible? I have no problems with detonation or anything and I checked the squish and I'm about .043 in each cylinder. I also run 112 octane fuel mixed at 40:1. Quote
vulvafan537240 Posted January 6, 2009 Report Posted January 6, 2009 what kind of compression gauge? crappy comp gauges can give some crazy readings. Quote
bbcmudtruck Posted January 6, 2009 Report Posted January 6, 2009 I dont think you should be mixing your fuel with 205lbs, rather running straight 110. Are you at sea level or something? Its kind of strange your getting such high readings with 19s also. Quote
RIPPEN Posted January 6, 2009 Report Posted January 6, 2009 Not quite the same but similar topic.. Kinda weird.. http://www.bansheehq.com/forums/index.php?...106320&st=0 RIPPEN Quote
dajogejr Posted January 6, 2009 Report Posted January 6, 2009 Try a different gauge, name brand quality like a craftsman, snap on, MAC, etc. Quote
