Re: Make slowboy not so slow

Smoked today on startup, but stopped when it was warm. Did a few 5psi pulls from 2nd to 4th up to 5500rpm range, the a few 10psi, then 15-18psi. Compression test read 140-150 for all four, though the tester was pretty ghetto. It was a rental from oreillys that had seen better days. I tried to compare numbers to the ZX2 but the tester didn't fit... so no luck there.

I'll continue to beat on it a little, maybe a few short WOT pulls in 2nd to 5000rpm, the wastegate has an 18psi spring so I won't be boosting too high. I did another 10 miles on it today for a total of 30 so far, there isn't much time left for the rings. I'll be pissed if they don't seat properly.

Bled the brakes again today, they feel much better but still not great. I'll do some hard braking and bleed them again before the cruise. Also found out one of the oil pan bolts was rubbing the timing belt, not the cover. It was one of the shorter bolts, but the crank scraper was in there before which was probably 1/8" thick so it didn't rub, I cut a few threads off the end and problem solved.
