From ashes

Thanks Tim, ill keep that in mind!

Well, here's a bummer update.

About 2 months ago now I took the car down to Ron's to have said ignition problem looked at, and it turns out that noise that we all thought was piston slap, was something more severe. So MAP has had the car down to short block for a while now. Cylinder #3 was fuel washed. The injectors have been sent to ID for inspection. They called me this morning and said that nothing is unusual that would indicate the injectors were the problem. One was flowing a little low, but still within Bosche's standards. FML

[Kracka]

Yikes...

[Murlo26]

Hmmm, this sucks :(

[dsmreck]

yes it does suck. I too want to know what a washed cylinder would do

[93gtpeater]

A washed cylinder would be a cylinder with no/little compression. A washed cylinder is shiny and has no cross hatchings.
