I would say hes a product of his own luck.

When I had my compression tested it was just the standard compression tester from oreillys. You can rent it I think...

I got all jacked up today and didn't get to work on the car. Thanks for the heads up. I'll have to hit up Harbor Freight this weekend while I'm off.

!!! get that thing running already!!!

I didn't pick mine up, it's still at the shop, waiting on a dsmlink cable. I'm intending to pick it up tuesday or wednesday, and i'll try to get a video to get you MOTIVATED !

best of luck sir.

So I have a funny story about the compression tester I rented... Long story, short. There's no way they'll take it back and give me my money back so I'm not even gonna try. Tried to make a slight modification to things and we had a little boo boo with the hose connector getting destroyed and then the hose melting... Anywho, had to make a new one and now it's pretty sweet...

So the compression test turned out weird. Only had 110psi on all cylinders. Found that cylinder 3 didn't have combustion for an unknown reason. Soon after that found that cylinders 2 and 3 were no longer firing. Soon after that found that the coil for both those cylinders had died on me. Replaced it with another coil and then they were firing again. Gave it a crank and the car ran... Sounded really good but something didn't sound quite right and we had some smoke/steam going on slightly behind the motor... Oh joy, what the f*ck could it be now... Oh look, where did all my coolant go? Coolant and oil mixed together? Sweet... I get to pull the head again just for a f*cking head gasket after all that? F*cking great... I hate... these motherf*cking cars...

I had a MLS gasket though. I thought those bastards were impossible to blow out? Ordering a new one tomorrow I guess... Also considering going with coil on plug and an MSD ignition now too rather than shelling out stupid money for a new coil pack. Thoughts?

Don't give up on it, LoL! And the coil on plug is a good idea, my friend has one for his 1st gen and he loves it.

Sleepr awd · 09-04-2009, 01:47 PM

coil on plug = win

sorry to hear that again buddy

hopefully it was a fluke problem and it'll be straight next time.

Blackcrow64 · 09-05-2009, 09:41 PM

Hmmm... Not to disappoint you guys but somebody is interested in the Talon and they've got cash... It may be gone soon here if he actually gives me what I'm wanting out of it...

If it does go then I'll be getting my own house here guys, so don't look at it as a loss but as an upgrade... Just gotta prioritize sometimes. I can't live at home forever. lol

vanilla gorilla · 09-06-2009, 02:35 AM

Hey man, I dont blame you at all for that, if you can get what you want out of it, then the smart thing to do would be to sell.

But anyways. How could a brand new HG be blown? The head is freshly surfaced, and I'm sure you tourqed it to spec.......Doesnt seem right.

steviek · 09-06-2009, 03:48 AM

yea man the hg is a mystery and also selling the car is a shame but if it has to be done it has to be done.

Blackcrow64 · 09-06-2009, 02:05 PM

I donno what was up with the head gasket. I'm baffled by it too...
