Can't Be... More Bad News
Well I'm sure most of you have been following me for the last 3 to 4 weeks from my extreme high moments to my extremely low moments. I have just got back in from inside and after a compression test I'm feeling a little under the weather to say the least.
0 - 239
0 - 230
0 - 190 -
0 - 220 -
Cylinders from the front of the car to the back the bottom #'s being the front cylinder. If the 190 was a 220 I wouldn't be posting this but its not.
Method to get the compression test just in case anyone was wondering.
1. I warmed the car up for about 10 minutes
2. I then pulled all the spark plugs which were BLACK!!! The ground straps were black and so was the porcelain on all plugs
3. Pulled the Fuel pump fuse
4. Put gauge in cylinder
5. Had someone hold the gas and clutch down and crank 5 X

Hmm...
Your running Krankvents and you still managed to pop the dip stick? Are you certain they are installed correctly? I know that boost in the crankcase is one thing that causes the dip stick to pop.
From Fred Perra:
When the car is idling, pull out the dip stick. It should be harder to pull out, and when it does come out, you should hear a psss sound as the vacuum is released. If you don't, then the valves are not hooked up right.
