IS THAT CORKY BELL'S MAXIMUM BOOST BOOK!?! I have been looking for that forever. Please tell me where you bought it and for how much. I've talked to Corky on the phone several times but I have never asked him if he could send me the book. We usually end up talking about my car or the Cartech kits. He is a really nice guy, very smart and I'd love to read his words on turbos.

Okay, i just took my motor apart, and decided i'd do another "compression check" now the front rotor has all three compression sounds, but one is very weak. When i'm turning the motor by hand it gets very easy that half turn of the of the poor compression sound.

Ummmm...... it's best to do a compression test with the engine assembled.

Sounds marginal at best to me. Have you tried doing the ATF/MMO/Power Foam treatment?

Like I said, try and get all the fuel that could be in it out, and get some oil in there....mine was behaving similar, and it was only flooded.

I did an atf treatment and that's when i regained another compression sound, but i'm still not getting compression on one rotor face. I'm simply baffled.

don't be baffled. When you only have one pulse, you likely have one stuck/damaged/exploded/missing apex seal. Aside from pulling the header/stock exhaust mani and using a mirror and flashlight to visually inspect the apex seals in that rotor (turn by hand 120 degrees to get to the next one) you won't know anything until you take the engine apart.

Best of luck to ya.
