SOLD!

Bump, price down to $3000

bump!

Christmas bump!

The bore looked great, honed it down with a 3 stone tool and got the whole cylinder to have a nice cross-hatch. Got it all put back together and it runs great now, smooth as can be and I can't hear a miss at the tailpipe. Honestly it's never run better since I got it so I think the guy sold it...

Price Lowered ===> $3500

Well I went ahead and did a cold compression test again and the results came back as before... Cylinders 2-6 had 145+ PSI, Cylinder 1 only had 40 PSI. Well obviously something was wrong with cylinder 1 and after I put some compressed air in the cylinder the most significant portion of leakage...

I am planning on doing a leakdown to pinpoint where the problem is. I did not check the head for flatness, but unless there is some significant curvature at the front of the head I doubt that is the issue considering every other cylinder was around 180 psi. As for the cam/lifters, I can see...

Pulled the head, cylinder walls looked fine so I went ahead and replaced the head gasket, torqued it down then did compression test again.... still 50 psi, so I'm thinking bad rings which would be the reason I probably had such low manifold vacuum. Could I still have bad rings without any...

Well, did a compression test. All cylinders were fantastic except for cylinder 1... Only 50 psi. Gonna pull the head, I'm guessing I blew the head gasket between the coolant passage and the cylinder. Got a fun day tomorrow!

So I installed the mustang injectors and I'm not noticing a difference in my idle. It's still not right, somewhat rough and can hear a random misfire at the tailpipe with the smell of fuel. What should my MAP reading be using a code reader? I'm getting between 9 and 11 "HG which from what I've...

Well that's just silly, but here are some updated pictures of the Jeep with new 30x9.5 tires:

This is what I was thinking... I really hope this is what's happening because that would explain some of the issues that I've been having or had happening. I won't jump to conclusions until I get the mustang injectors in there and I'll let y'all know. Well I'm just keeping my fingers crossed...

I'm kind of shocked nothing bad has happened yet but I will definitely be putting in the Ford 24#s. I understand the impedance is going to cause a larger current flow from the PCM and could possibly damage it, but I'm curious to know if anyone knows more behind this and what exactly is going...

Have some mustang 5.0 injectors (24#) on the way.... What would be some symptoms of running these low impedance injectors? Lean? Rough idle?
