Did a compression test on my s13 yesterday found out that:

Cylinder 1: 120psi
Cylinder 2: 120psi
Cylinder 3: 60 psi
Cylinder 4: 60 psi

Im guessing this would be headgasket im so thankful theres a MSL in there because the engine still runs ok and the oil and water havent mixed.

It does weep oil down the side of the block but luckily for me ive already bought another engine.

I think ill pull the engine down and rebuild in my own time.

See Breakages are a blessing in disguise :) :)

Which part of that is funny?

You've never seen a CA18 transplanted into an old RWD corolla before?

What's the difference just because it's in a ke doesn't mean the mechanical side of things is any different if it makes you feel beter there's an s13 crossmember s13 rack s13 arms and power steering in it too

So what exactly are you getting at ke70s didn't come with Nissan engines I put it there out of my s13 Image
Maybe we should swap post counts seeing as u enjoy ripping into people just getting started at least I have some idea what I'm talking about

yeah turns out the head gasket has twisted wıth heat. İt overboosted (EBAY SPEC turbo) resulting in a water line from the turbo blowing off droppıng all the coolant but the temp gauge never moved. I only pulled over because the engıne started to make a rattlıng sound. costly exspense too ill have too get the head checked but its so annoying that i only put that engine ın 12,000klms and already i have to pull it out again.
