Re: Make slowboy not so slow

Using RTV on the center stud didn't do anything, still pisses oil. So I'm going to take off the manifold and helicoil it.

I did a compression test with my tester so I can compare the results to the old rings.

170-167-167-165

So that's almost an average 10psi across the board better than before, so it seems that the rings did seat pretty well. However, the smoking issue is getting worse. It's especially bad after letting it sit for awhile, just billows smoke out the exhaust. After awhile it'll smoke less, especially after I go WOT for a bit, then sometime later it'll smoke more randomly. I'm thinking the new valve seals were installed improperly. Either that or the turbo seals weren't installed right.
