Me too...It's been a very long time since I've been able to enjoy the car to it's full potential...I've had to baby it for the most part...can't wait to unleash the beast...

Hey Eli,

I'm sure gonna try...I just dropped the car off yesterday to confirm my diagnosis. Compression is all over the place.

Cyl-1 = 120
Cyl-2 = 160
Cyl-3 = 120
Cyl-4 = 160
Cyl-5 = 125
Cyl-6 = 100

The bottom line is I've gotta have it re-ringed. So, I'm looking at having it finished, hopefully, sometime during the second week of February, maybe sooner.

Is 160 is the right number for good compression?

Since Steve joined Pcars he has not see the full potential of the Red Beast. You will get down on your knees, raise your arms and speak loudly "I'm not worthy".

i dont wanna see it
i want to drive it

Hey gang...

Went down to visit my baby today...It appears as though it may take a little longer than I expected to complete the work on the car. It didn't dawn on me until today that my engine is not stock. So, we've got to purchase the rings from Ruf or have them specially made by Dietz...I won't know until next week which route I'm going to take. Preferably, I'd like to put the Ruf rings back in her...

I'll keep you posted.
