I just put in a jdm ej253 i just bought and my numbers were as good as those… totally surprised…#4 exhaust valve guides dropped though… had to get head fixed. That doesn’t mean it won’t use oil or get rod knock… but having good compression readings are a good sign. A leak down test is always needed as well.
Also it sounds like this because it ain’t completely welded. That’s how mine sounded like but after it was quoted. I have one x pipe and magnaflow muffler. With the cats still on
Why are these imported from Japan? I see on ebay and need one I'm just wondering. Or is it just because the quality is better? Or do they have a good amount of them over there ...
I bought a 5sfe, probably hasn't run in years. Shouldn't I lube the Piston rings and walls before testing? I know it would mess up the dry test. My mechanic died last month, so I'm sort of in limbo. Thanks.
