vr6 compression test

[Jmac]

Cylinder leakage test will tell you exactly where the pressure loss is mate, just means you need your tappet cover off to be sure your cam lobes are up on the fire stroke. This is THE only test and the best to verify.

Well you wanted the answer of new short block VR6?

Well here it is, you can get 2.8 - 3.4 vr6 short block or long block.
You can get a long block including full cam work and port and polish and all that.

www.eurospecsport.com

shortblock 2.9 is only $2300US. Pretty cheap for a 2.9 bottom end. and its Fresh, ohh think of the torque if you went to a 3.4 vr6. WOWOW

Now there is some nice options

you can spend a whole lot on a vr6 engine and still not really make that much power!

this is exactly what i was thinkin haha!
im really just lookin to freshen everything up befroe i go supercharged, and i thought makin it a 2.9 or a 3.0 would be an added bonus since im already in the area.
im thinkin i might not get another engine and build it, because i only did the chains, tensioners, guides and whatnot in the current engine so that will have gone to waste if i changed engines. ill just get a postie bike to ride while i do the work. win!

4motion engine is another very interesting idea though.

im thinkin the lack of compression in those 2 cylinders might be whats caused my engine mounts to be softer than cheese, since it would make the engine run very unbalanced, would i be right in thinkin this?

and cylinder leakage test sounds like the test ill be doing when i can be bothered, ive still got a while before im going to start stockpiling parts for this build yet
