New rotors, bearings, rebuilt calipers.
Front suspension is now pretty much complete and new. I guess the engine and transmission are next.Attached Image

I ended up putting the transmission and engine back together with a starter so I can do a compression check. I took the engine tins off and was surprised at what I found. It was a combination of shredded electrical tape and very thin wire that had gotten hot and melted. I imagine the mice deposited it there and it could’ve been part of some blower hoses.Attached Image

I always enjoy getting ahead of myself and having to redo things. He was cheaper to order a compression testing kit off Amazon than having friends shipping me one to use.Attached Image

I got ahead of myself and separated the engine and transmission and starter. I Had to put it back together so I could do a compression check.

My lovely shop girl helped me take the readings.

I think the low readings that I had in the second round on cylinder one and three was because I did not have the Fittings tight enough.

Cold readings are 10 to 20% lower than a warm engine splitting the difference. They average about 143 pounds per cylinder when I factor in the additional percentages if it was warm.
130 to 160 is considered in the good range and then it goes down from there
