Hi guys...so i got my engine in and running.
Went through the break-in as recommended by many online sites (the whole load the engine to seat the rings).
It was overbored to 85.5mm so it has a little mroe displacement, but compression isn't up to what i think it should be.
It's about 150psi flat accross on all cylinders with a decent amount of blowby. there is only about 150miles on the engine. Is this something to be worried about? I was prety sure i loaded the rings enough...gave it full throttle and then full decel, only too about 4500rpm.
i'll give it another 200 miles or so and then check compression again, i'm hoping its just a time thing and it'll come up a bit over time.
