Well the engine guys think they may have done something wrong with the orientation of the twinplug dizzy and they didn't like the leak down on number 1 when they were trying to get it at tdc..

I left the car with them so they can figure it out.

I am still waiting.....

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif) I am sure that is disheartening. Well, I hope they figure it out quickly.

Im not worried, for one the engine has sat for over a year after it was put together, When priming the injectors the fuel must of washed any oil left in the cylinders from installing the pistons away. The cold start washed even more on cranking to start it today and the rings haven't been sealed yet. The plugs they pulled were wet.
The shop is going to pull the rest of the plugs and squirt some oil in, crank it over and pump up the oil pressure with the fuel pump disconnected, and check the leak down, I think they are wasting there time, i believe everything is ok, but am grateful their wish is to make sure it is.

I have waited this long might as well make sure everything is right.

My big worry is the weather, so far no snow but I am biding my time on that, I want to get some miles on the car before that shit happens....

I can se it now, Ollie and I sitting in the garage in the car drinking a beer listening to the stereo and pretending were driving, while there is 2ft of snow out the door and it's still falling.

Answer to power, around 420hp is expected in relation to other engines with similar builds..

These guys are trying to figure out why 1 and 3 have bad leak down numbers, if i have to I will drop the motor and have them recheck there work.
I really cant understand nor can they, why the leak down numbers are bad as I am sure they checked them when they built the engine and the things not been started yet.

They started it today and said the engine sounded great. Tomorrow we will re-start again and time it. I did notice some oil leakage from the base of the cylinder and case on the bad leak down cylinder #1. I have to decide weather to break-in the engine and hope everything seals up. When I have to re-adjust the valves, re-check the leak downs and if bad tear it down and fix, or tear it down if the leak down numbers dont improve in #1 and #3 after tomorrow. I think (but I really dont know for sure) that the rings and cylinders really need to seal during break-in for good leak down numbers. The shop thinks everything should seal up but seemed a little worried about it yesterday.

Well, I hope everything goes well. Are you sure everything was torqued to spec? I have heard of people building engines and forgetting to toque the heads properly.

Run it for a day and see how things shake down then have them fix the oil leak at least. You would think if the leak down numbers are off the crank case pressure would increase and that oil leak will get worse.

All torqued correctly using Supertec Head studs. Over on the Bird board they think everything will seal up also.
