jbooker82 Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 did you make sure not to pinch any orings? That could cause a leaking compression. What is your compression before and after the install. Maybe the domes you got were actually bigger than the stock head. Causing the compression to be lower.

dajogejr Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 At 135PSI with 20cc domes in cali...something isn't right. How old is that motor...? I would think 20cc domes on a good motor @ or near sea level would be 150ish...to 160ish. Is it a quality compression tester (not an auto parts store cheapy..) and did you keep on kicking it, with the throttle held WOT, until it stopped moving all together?

Slickgib Posted July 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 it a cheap compression tester the one you have to hold onto the daNG HOLE. and no i didnt hold the throttle open. ill test again ok i get 150 right on the button on both cylinders. how is that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id get a better comp gauge, my cheapy Checker Auto gauge read the same as my buddys craftsman :thumbsup: Any way you put it, if its installed right and before your stock head wasn't milled (more compression like your cool head) then somethin else is wrong. Compession is a good base to start off of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slickgib Posted July 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 thanks man i think i throw some new plugs in it and runm it up and down the street a few times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 Yeah, 150 sounds more like it...should be a tad higher, but...should be ok. ALWAYS throw new plugs in whenever you do new mods....that's the only way to see where you're at... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbooker82 Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 What kind / brand of compression tester did you buy? What does the tip look like. Are the threads long like the spark plugs or are they short? josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
