Thanks for the response! Ah okay I see now. I did come across some other posts on here and they were mentioning different fitting sizes so I think that may have caused some confusion and overthinking on my end. Thanks for the tip about priming the oil system with the line off, i was dreading...

so, kinda glad your build is current. i messed up the oil feed bolt/thread on my block. did you tap the threads for the fitting on the block? if so, what did you use?

Hey, so I was hoping to get my motor in this weekend but don’t think it’s going to happen because I just screwed myself! I stripped out the oil feed line bolt on the block. Went to google and came across your post! So I have never had to tap any thing and some what nervous. By chance are you...

Tbh I’m not sure. I bought the car like this. I am replacing the whole motor. Compression was shit on the other cylinders. Gunna put a built motor in it. Car hasn’t been on the road in close to 3 years. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hello all. I apologize for bumping a 2 year old thread but it is apart of this journey. Have some time to give an update due to current circumstances in the world. I think it was July of 2018, I got an engine from jdm engine depot that was from a gt cx7. I just wanted to get something to get the...

Hey guys here’s an update. Found out why cylinder 4 has no compression. Burnt valve! First pulled the intake manifold to check those valves and they checked out to be good so I decided to just yank the whole motor. Worked over the past month little by little removing the motor. Today got the...

thanks didn't think so.

I meant to ask earlier but can injector seals cause total loss of compression? I was thinking it would still have some comp since the hole is restricted and not completely open but then I don’t know, I’ve never experienced it.
