So I get the car finished, start it, fires right up. I bring the idle up to 2k and let it warm up and it starts backfiring out the exhaust again. I'm thinking wtf omg fml, all of that. So I instantly break out the compression tester, the same brand new rental from oreilys I used before and threw it in #1...... 75#. Again with the fml wtf omg etc. I've got an old school tester I used to use, the kind that you have to hold in while cranking, but its a pain in the ass because it won't fit in all the spark plug holes with headers, plus you have to have two people to use it. But I figure, what the hell, so I go get my wife, tell her the drill and jam it in... blam 135#. I throw their Chinese crap back in, 75#. Their compression tester has a leak in the hose.

Fuck

me

running.

I think when testing the old rings, when I added oil and i seen the pressure rise it was sealing the leaky hose, not the rings.

Clearly God hates me

Well, on one hand, I'm pissed because I'm still having problems but I was very relieved to see the compression is good. I can't deny I was getting fuel in the oil and the ring gaps were very wrong before but regardless, the backfiring issue is not due to low compression. I'm going to put the dfi on my dads car and see if the problem follows.

Im not trying to make it a meme thing. Just don't like selling something damaged. Sold a old bass pedal setup last year. And discovered a split in power supply chord. And fronted 40.00 to have a new one shipped to guy next day so they would get there on same day.

This is the water park across the river. You can't even get to it because of 6-8 feet of water on the road. This is the road that is incredible for cruises. But I'll probably go out tomorrow and get a few pics of my own
