Compression build up
How long does it take for a rebuilt 13b to build compression. I heard its normal for a rebuild to have lower compression, but mine won't start with out being pulled. Once it's on it runs good but I'm wonder if I have a bad build I can almost never get it to start by turning the starter.

what car?
have you confirmed where the timing is while it's running? another idea is to do a compression test after it's run and warm. |
Did you test the engine to see what the actual compression is?
Normally it takes a couple 100km's to get everything properly settled. Your compression numbers will come up as everything wears to where it should be,but it won't be a drastic change in Numbers..like if you start off with 50 and think that the numbers will end up as 110 then there is something askew. BTW..50 is just a number for reference.If you rebuilt and tested at 50 then you would not have rebuilt the engine correctly and would need to address it |
Timings good compression is 60 not much better than 50. I'm pretty upset. I was told this is all normal with these cars.

you could keep driving it and see what happens, but I wouldn't have very high hopes |
what new parts went into your rebuild?
|
New side seals and springs. Apex seals and springs. Corners seals. Thermal pellet and new seals.
