Houston, we have compression. - Cheesy saying, I know, but damn am I happy. Epic 30-minute early birthday gift!
Future looks bright for this little RB20 of mine, she's putting out around 180PSi +/- per cylinder after putting a teaspoon of oil in each cylinder and cranking with the starter (as recommended) with my brand new comp. tester. Party anyone? LOL
And indeed, compression should be low for a brand new engine, if the break-in goes as planned, it should be absolutely fine!
Oh, edit for pics, put the test valvecovers on, look pretty nice I think. Cant wait to put the green ones back on. Gotta finish cleaning them up. Anywho, here's the engine in it's timed glory (yes, crank was rotated before i took these pics so don't look at timing marks ), put the HKS gears and Nismo timing belt that were used on my engine last year and torqued everything to exact spec.
