Edit- Forgot to mention this is the G63B 2.0 motor. Anyone who knows got any feedback about those numbers? for some reason they won't stay lined up as a column under where i posted Cyl1-4 when I click to post.
So I've got all the steering suspension and brakes updated, the interior is civilized enough it isn't a chore to make myself drive it. I have begun trying to figure out why I have crap MPG (low200's per tank) and maybe why it likes to increase the idle as it gets hotter.
I still have a lot of now superfluous wires on it.
I have done a dry/wet compression test and a cylinder leak down test. Here are the numbers
Compression Cyl 1 Cyl 2 Cyl 3 Cyl 4
Dry 157 152 155 170
Wet 170 170 165 167
Leak Down 25% 27% 28% 27%
I know the leak down is good as its all the same. But Cylinder 4 is weird for having a lower pressure wet than dry. Plus 1,2,3, are all 20 psi lower than 4 dry. The plugs looked used but not overly so. I brushed them off when I put them back in and it started fine.
Oh I only had to disconnect the power wire to the fuel pump from the oil pressure switch to get away with out pouring gas through the system. And I used the paper over the plug hole method if finding the compression stroke for each cylinder. Then a screw driver in until it stopped coming up and felt like it was gonna start down.
The only thing that is off which I have never mentioned before even though its been going on for years is that it sometimes seems to catch when it is starting as if there is something dry in the motor not wanting to slide by. Could be a tired starter. It is used.
