Message	So i bought my TT knowing i was in need of new rings, so this is no suprise, but i think it may have set a record for compression. Cyl #1 = 160 Cyl #2 = 148 Cyl #3 = 160 Cyl #4 = 148 Cyl #5 = 157 Cyl #6 = 15........yeah, that says 15. Is it a new record for lowest compression ever? So i'd say #6 is in pretty bad shape, but not unexpected. In fact the great compression on the other 5 was quite a welcome suprise. I look forward to selling the NA and repairing the TT rather quickly. BTW, i went ahead and took it for a spin around my neighborhood, and probably killed every bug in a 2 mile radius with my fog machine. It was quite amusing the amount of smoke it was releasing. I'll post my further adventures with the darkside as they happen. -Eric

Another weird thing that I haven't seen before - boileralum 22:24:43 05/12/03 Black smoke from the unburned fuel on #6 or oil? (n/m) - TwinTurboPete 23:07:13 05/12/03 I'd say it was definitely oil. Smoke didn't look too black. (n/m) - nissanzxman 07:03:45 05/13/03 I think it was probably a combination of both. (n/m) - boileralum 08:46:08 05/13/03
