Re: Evo X upgrades

Those compression numbers are definitely discouraging. Have you done a leakdown test?

Not at all. I made a bad decision but I didn't have enough information at the time.

No, partly due to the symptoms and partly because it was a brand-new head. MAP built it up from a new Mitsu core. The car has been blowing dipsticks, fouling front O2s and filling catch cans with blow-by since a few weeks after the build. I know that head issues can lower compression but could it be the cause of all the oil burning and other symptoms?
