btw, 70 psi means rebuild time. and ya, i know its low, i'm hoping it will hold up through the summer so i can rebuild my spare this winter and put it in next year, sad it doesn't even have 110K on it |
Did you ever get problem resolved?

If you got a gas smell in your bedroom.....Put your wife's head under the covers..lol! *(now you know why I am single..hahahhahaha!) |
Lolol gas smell and red line issue

my bad, I never saw this thread bump after I responded. The redlining I answered in the thread, my throttle cable came out've the groove and jammed the throttle open slightly
bedroom is DONE gas smell in the oil (NOT under my covers at night, styx, you haven't found the right woman, mine will at least joke about it, AND loves my 7) from what I was told not to worry about it, I really think my side seals are going bad though and its leaking past them slightly |
side seals would account for some additional fuel in the oil but not so much for low compression. expect your rotor housings to be in pretty bad shape, hopefully i'm wrong and it's just carbon.

And i wouldn't think carbon, i try and redline once a day (fully warm of course) |
redlining can only get loose carbon off, if the carbon is old and caked on then almost nothing can get it out.

a decarb could help get it off but to get the really baked on carbon requires heavier measures, like water injection and heavy loads combined.
