You know NASCAR will be at TMS this week/weekend. There will be a fresh supply of take-offs. Vendors sell the take-offs for $20-$25 each at the track.

Well, ran a compression check on the truck tonight to try and find my missing HP. All the cylinders ran 185+ to 195 so I guess that's not my issue. This was even on a cold engine. The compression tester said to check the compression with the engine hot/warm. Would that make the reading higher or lower?

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(RedHeartbeat @ Apr 10 2006, 09:17 PM) [snapback]49844[/snapback]</div>Doing it warm would just ensure rings and pistons were fully expanded resulting in "slightly" less leakdown and higher numbers on your compression check.Well, ran a compression check on the truck tonight to try and find my missing HP.
