Project 4ktq: engine removal prep...

[Marc A Swanson <mswanson@cisunix.unh.edu>]

Spent the day on the 5kt parts car today.  Did a compression test on the
motor, and the numbers are as follows:

#1  110 psi
#2  125 psi
#3  117 psi
#4  128 psi
#5  116 psi

The book of Roberts chapter 15 verse 30 states that a new motor should be
between 116 to 159.5 psi with a wear limit of 94.3.  My question is,
should I leave the bottom end alone as far as rings and pistons go?
Comments?

Also, I forgot how much of a pain it is to get out some of those buggered
screws that just don't want to budge without stripping them to nothing...
oh well.  

On the positive side, I managed to succer my friend into helping me out..
if only he knew what he just got himself into ;-)

That's it for now.

Later
