GoodfellaFD3s, I am not sure. I did that 3 months ago. But i know that they were within spec. I had to replace all of the side seals in the front rotor and I got them from pinapple racing.

ottoman, Yes i did that too, however I dont think my method of doing so was correct so I will try that again. but will that raise the compression 60+ psia?

Try to roll start it and if it does start just rev the **** out of it for a minute and hope for the best, at this point you dont have much to lose

i am having very similar problems to fdfreak, i built the motor myself using the same video,have fuel,spark, ect. new batt,new starter,new plugs. The only way i can get it to start is letting it roll down a hill + popping the clutch, and it only runs for a min before stalling no matter how much i rev it. I do not have access to a compression tester does it sound like i also have low compression?
i also tried atf, motor oil + m.m oil in spark plug holes nothing seems to help?

Something internal is not right, sounds like it is just fouling the plugs out due to low compression.
