05LegacyGTArmyguy Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 Compression test results. Would #4 be a valve issue with the compression being none? Car runs and drives builds boost 120mph pulls no problem just rough idle P0304 code #1 156 dry 165 wet #2 155 dry 160 wet #3 158 dry 166 wet #4 12 dry 38 Wet <----yes you see that correctly. It tries to suck a $1 bill into the exhaust when I put it in front of the muffler bent/Burnt Valve? Even a ring issue will have more compression than that yes? Probably need to do a leak down next
Max Capacity Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 Yes, the engine needs to come out, and at least have the heads rebuild. The engine should be rebuild too if it has high miles and you plan to keep the car. Burnt valves is a common issue with these cars that are on the factory tune. Get the car Tuned when the engine is back together. You should have the banjo filters removed too. see my click here link for info. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it. Engine Build - Click Here
lee07 Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 Yes, having mines in right now for this. I had zero compression. Should be done tomorrow.
