They do seem thin. But, after a connecting rod breaks, the engine is done. The only question is whether you'll leave souvenir fragments on the...
I've pulled my 3rd Gen 2 ICE now. There wasn't able to find any compression in The first. The 2nd was from a front end crash in which an engine...
I'm not sure how much of it's talent. No formal mechanic training so it's YouTube and Google. I kind of screwed up on a Gen 3 I put back together....
I should add that I believe the best compression method is on a warm engine using the car's starting system. Numbers with hand cranking would be...
