lmao yeah not here. Its a little dark here if you know what I mean. haha
Thats a pretty rough idle. it actually sounded like it was about to die if you let off the throttle. good time for a rebuild. or give it to me. haha

LMFAO thats so true. I worry whenever I leave some wrenches outside or when I leave a wheel off next to the car and go inside for a minute.

on the compression tester there is a valve that you press to release the pressure or zero it. that valve should be held open to watch each pulse of compression. then it will bounce to zero between pulses, if it goes 90-40-40 you know you have a problem.

I would've kicked you out if I was the manager but being a fellow rotary owner...I'd grab some beer and watch you work cause I'm lazy and tell you how you're doing everything wrong LOL jkjk totally kidding
Seriously tho...I commend you on your efforts. Its not easy doing all of this "basic looking" stuff... given you have the right tools, its still a pain to do a lot of work to our cars. Cant wait to see it finished...I spied a TII hood
