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...
so i have read awhile back about the green coating on the flywheel. I have one i will be installing some time soon. so is it necessary to remove the green coating? what can be used to remove it?
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.

I bought a used engine from jdm engine depot on eBay. Looked great but had a busted vvt. Sent back and got refund. So be careful. You can scope salvage yards on car-part.com. Asolutionsauto parts another seller that parts out like fattimotorworks on eBay/FB. Def looking at 2-3k on a swap. 5k...
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...
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.
Thanks! I may we'll see lol.
thanks!
lmao, got a girlfriend. I'm hoping its something simple. its got 119k on it. 2nd owner didn't mod but i can the first owner did. 2nd owner had it about 3 years until it popped the p0300 and i guess he didn't want to spend the money to fix it. he didn't...
Hey guys, previous speed owner. 3 years ago I had to trade my speed3 in for a more fuel efficient vehicle for work. i was apart of the other forum so i am glad to see a new beginning and kept up to date forum, so thanks! Recently found a 2007 speed3 on Craigslist that I could buy out right for...
