Wasn't expecting much since this motor sees redline daily. Was expecting worse results.

Plugs weren't fouled, but were starting to have a build up of carbon. Figured I'm running it bit rich so I think I could get away with a little more advance on the distributor. Thoughts? Should I even bother doing a leak down test?

I wouldn't worry about it. Seems healthy enough to me

Cool. Pretty happy with the little m10 atm.

[solo318]

those numbers are fine. don't spend any mental energy worrying about it.

[E30_Pare]

Ya I feel more comfortable throwing mods at it now.

Damn good for almost 200k id be super satisfied. Hoping mine will tell the same tale this weekend, but hard cold starts lead me to believe i might be in the low 120's.
