the whole ka18det thing was pretty gross.
^ yes it is melted
well everything is working well now, aside from the compression:
195, 195, 190, 200
what do you guys think about seafoaming? if i could bring it down to the 170-180 range i would be very pleased. thanks for any insight

no rebuild, but i was under the assumpmtion if there was a lot of carbon deposits and gunk on the pistons it might account for very high compression. seafoam supposedly helps burn off alot of the gunk.

Damn, that seems unreasonably high. Did you use another gauge just to make sure?
I just googled it and that carbon build up seems like something too big for just a little seafoam to handle. Although, from personal experience, seafoam works wonders. It's like miracle juice. Its especially fun to put it in and then drive around making huge plumes of smoke.

it seems to be running fine, i havent yet driven it. it smoked a bit when i first started it with the new injector but that went away after a few minutes. my brother comp tested his n/a ka and got numbers in the high 180s to high 190s so maybe the gauge is slightly off.

i'd just seafoam anyways...always a good idea... hey, maybe you have a quarter inch of sludge sitting on top of each of your pistons lol
why are injector o-rings one of the most prone things to going bad on a car...can't they make them out of something a little more capable of not breaking...
