Ok people smarter than me, I need some m20 help.
The m20b25 currently in my daily is a grenade, and based on the constant rod knock, the pin has already been pulled. My goal is to swap in another m20b25 for as little as possible so I can save for rebuilding my engine as a stroker.
I found an engine that was supposed to be in good condition when pulled. Other than the missing oil filter housing it was stored all sealed up. I turned it over by hand and it moves smoothly, but maybe too smoothly. So I pulled the plugs, dumped a quart of oil into it and hooked up a compression tester and got 80-20-25-30-50-45 as I turned it over by hand about 20-30 times.
Should I be worried? Would I even get good numbers turning it by hand? Even if I got bad numbers, shouldn't they ALL be bad and relatively similar? Other than a leakdown, is there any other way to check it?sigpic

have done comp tests on cold, out-of-the-car, not-run-in-years M30s and gotten even 100+psi across the cylinders.
I put some ATF in the cylinders and turned it over a bunch of times to get it lubricated. Now I have good readings in all cylinders. Yay!

I would be down, but I gotta clear it with the GF. The semester is just about to end and she wants to spend the weekends together.
...but I bet I can tempt he with a trip to a vineyard afterwards.sigpic
