I have been noticing a very slightly rough idle lately, actually for a while. I thought it was the plug wires, so I ordered some and went to change them. While the old ones were off I decided to do a compression test. Good ol cylinder four is at 60psi. I squirted some oil in the cylinder and it jumps up to 170~. I am wondering what the problem is. I thought rings pretty much wore evenly, all the other cylinders were ~140psi. I just changed the HG about 8k ago. I am thinking maybe a bad valve seat is the problem. I couldn't believe it. The car runs so strong. I raced a friends 98 Prelude VTec and beat him by a car length so I was surprised when I found this out. I figured it would run so much shittier with one cylinder compressing so poorly.
Anyway, I am in college, and I don't really want to deal with the car anymore. I love e30s, but I think I will wait until I graduate so I can enjoy modding one more. I guess I'll be driving my boring ass Nissan until I graduate. Start making some offers on the e30 I guess.:(
