Yipee....
For some of you who have been following my BHG incident that happened around the end of June on the Redpra, I finally got my Redpra back last Thursday.... Am now curious as to what my new compression is on the motor. Can anybody give me a estimate???
85 5MGE that was formerly a 9.2:1 compression motor.
0.015 was taken off the head surface. Was told that this was more or less around "average". 0.010 would be minimal, and 0.020 would have been quite a bit...
Replacement HG is a new stock OE Toyota HG, which is either a 1.5mm or a 2.0mm thickness (anyone know the correct thickness on this, before it's crushed/torqued down??).
Anyone know if compression changed much at all??? Am still on 89 octane gas & no pinging under a load, or going up hills.
If anyone wants to know what else was done to the head, LMK & I'll post the info later.
And yes, I did take pic's of the motor before & after, and the head after I got it back (forgot to take before pics, after it was pulled off the motor).
